2025 was one of the hardest years of my life; and somehow, the most fruitful.
It asked me to heal in ways I didn’t expect, to sit with discomfort, and to stop abandoning myself for the comfort of others. I learned that healing isn’t linear, that growth can be quiet and messy, and that choosing myself would cost me people, versions of myself, and entire chapters I once thought I needed.
I learned how to protect my peace.
How to listen to my intuition.
How to stop explaining my boundaries.
I cleared space; not out of anger, but out of love. Love for my nervous system. Love for my future. Love for the woman I’m becoming. I stopped entertaining what drained me and began choosing people, places, and work that felt expansive, safe, and freeing
And in that clearing… so much bloomed🦋✨
I found my way back to myself.
I met friends who feel like home and a community I’ll carry for a lifetime.
My business grew in ways I once only imagined.
My creativity returned.
My joy softened and deepened.
This year taught me that the hardest seasons often grow the strongest roots. That nothing is wasted. That endings make room for alignment. That peace is not something you find; it’s something you choose, over and over again.
I’m walking into the next chapter lighter, clearer, and more myself than ever before.

Happy International Women’s Day to the women in my life; the ones who have shaped me, held me, inspired me, and loved me in ways that words will probably never fully capture.
The friendships I have with women are some of the most meaningful relationships in my life. You have been mirrors, teachers, protectors, hype women, and safe places all at once.
You are the women who sit beside me in the hard moments and remind me who I am when I forget.
The ones who celebrate my wins like they’re your own.
The ones who tell me the truth, even when it’s hard, because you want to see me grow.
You are bold and fearless in your own ways.
Creative. Passionate. Wild. Tender. Deeply loving.
Women who build beautiful lives, even when the road hasn’t always been easy.
With you, I’ve danced, cried, created, healed, laughed until I couldn’t breathe, and had the kinds of conversations that shift something in your soul.
You’ve reminded me that friendship between women is powerful. It’s a kind of magic. A kind of medicine. A kind of strength that holds you up when the world feels heavy.
The older I get, the more I understand how sacred it is to walk through life alongside women who truly see you, who support you, and who celebrate you exactly as you are.
To my friends; the women in my life who are full of life, full of love, and full of heart, THANK YOU for being part of my story.
My world is better, brighter, and more beautiful because you’re in it.
I love you all sooo much.
PS We need to take more pictures. I couldn’t find recent pictures or pictures in general with some of my closest friends!!!

POV: It’s 2016.
I’m fresh out of high school and convinced this is the moment everything starts. I’ve spent years trailblazing and creating opportunities for myself and other models in Colorado, and I’m ready for the next move. My best friend and I pack her Dodge Neon and drive to California for what we believe is our first real gig; promises of opportunity, industry access, and a place just blocks from the beach. We’re young. Brave. And wildly naive and unprepared for how fast it can fall apart.
The other model who signed the lease disappears without paying a dollar. The designer we trusted unravels into chaos. Eventually, we have no choice but to leave; two of us living out of her tiny car with all of our stuff, swallowing our pride, panhandling on the street at 18 years old just to survive. And still…we don’t quit.
We make it to LA. Movies. TV shows. Magazines. NYFW & More. Moments I once only dreamed about become real.
~
That season became my first true lesson in grit; learning to trust myself, to keep going for the version of me who took the leap, and for the people cheering us on from home. It shaped me deeply, especially when I eventually chose to leave the industry after everything it took to get there.
For a long time, I debated ever talking about this. But it made me who I am. More of this story will live in a book…
I’ve transmuted so much pain into beauty, art, healing, and community; into my marketing agency, my music, my festival, my voice. Speaking up when things aren’t right. Chasing every dream. Being a trailblazer, even when labeled “too much” or “delusional.”
If you’re reading this, let it be a reminder to honor all of the seasons you’ve made it through. Use that strength to fuel the season you’re in now. Lean on your friends and family; chances are, they’ve walked through similar storms. We were NEVER meant to do life alone. And don’t forget the incredible things you’ve already done. Success looks different in every season, in every form, and to every person.
Today, I honor that 2016 version of Riah; afraid, fierce, determined, and unwilling to give up.
She started ✨everything✨

Last weekend in Colorado for a few months…
(Except for my Boogie Lights Bluebird show in January)🥹
Leaving my home, and the incredible people I’m so lucky to be surrounded by, is harder than I expected…
I’ve dreamed of van life since I was a kid. My first build was a truck camper I refinished with an ex at 19, only for Lyme disease to almost take my life and scare me away from the outdoors. I’ve climbed mental mountains I’ve never spoken of, just to arrive at a place where I can finally feel at home in the outdoors.
Fast forward almost 10 years later: I have a van, and I’m finally heading out with no destination, no plan… just my pup, the road, my business, and the freedom I’ve been waiting for my whole life. Bittersweet, scary, and everything I’ve ever wanted, all at once. ✨🚐🥹

Not a lot makes it to the feed anymore, but here’s a small mix of what the last couple months have looked like.❤️🔥✨
Edit: I’ve been told a lot lately that it looks like I’m doing great or that I seem the happiest I’ve ever been. I want to be honest…this has been the hardest year of my life. These are the highlights, the moments, and some of the people that kept me afloat the last couple months.
Bluebird is gonna be a BOOGIE RIAHT!
I'm over the moon to have @dj_riaht kick off the vibes at @bluebirdtheater on Jan 24th! @mariah.chere is such a kind ray of sunshine in this world and I am so freaking excited to have her light up the bluebird!
We met a couple years back at a griz function and she told me her vision of building a true community with the dream of one day putting on a truly meaningful music + arts festival that sparked a "Riaht", a riaht to create, connect, and shine ✨
Fast forward to August 1st this summer and the inaugural @riahtfest was literally everything she imagined. I was so blown away with every detail and the true intention behind this gathering. It was one of my favorite festivals I've ever been to and was so special getting down with the mini Boogie Bunch before a double rainbow lightning strike to put the perfect cap to our sunset set 🌄🌈⚡
Ahhh and now we're playing the Bluebird together!!! Show @dj_riaht some love in the comments and have a beautiful weekend my friends!
Saturday January 24th! AXS for 🎟️

✨The kind of peace I carry can’t be bought…
it’s earned by choosing freedom, chasing horizons, and refusing to shrink for a world that wants me contained..
I wasn’t made to be small.
I was made to be free. 🌊🔥
