Vibing out with Guest #12 🤴🏽💚

Hey Everyone! I’m so excited to share the latest episode of our bonus series, “Vibing with Guests” 🥂!

Every month, 1–3 guests will be joining me on a Friday to connect with you all and share meaningful conversations.

In this deeply personal and authentic episode, I sit down with Tarip—known to many as Rico—a Baltimore-based model, fashion icon, and standout creative force. Often described as a "popular loner," Rico opens up about the unseen battles behind the camera flash.

We dive into his journey with depression, the pressure of being an influencer, and the strength it took to heal while staying true to his individuality.

From navigating life in Baltimore to breaking molds in fashion, Rico speaks on mental health from a lens that many young Black men can relate to—but few discuss.

This conversation is raw, healing, and real. 🖤
