Tradescantia of some sort. They are pretty easy, just don’t overwater and be prepared to propagate to keep the top full. Good luck!

thank you!

For sure it’s a tradescantia, they are a little high maintenance because they drop leaves at the base of the stem very quickly and need to be propped often but aside from that they are hardy and can survive pretty much anywhere from my experience
