Media Platform + Agency
As a storyteller, I use my voice and the power of story to create content that inspires, empowers, and educates audiences to be the change. I am on a mission to empower women to transform themselves from within so they can be the powerful force of change they are meant to become, in fashion and beyond.
Through a combination of personal empowerment, professional development, and activism, my content creates a trifecta of knowledge that equips women of color to become conscious leaders for social and environmental justice.
“Ruby is a tremendous leader for the future of females ahead because she is a member of the community herself. Rather than say “Go”, she says “Let’s Go.””

How I Contribute:
As a media professional, I have worked in broadcast, print, and digital journalism as an on-camera talent, writer, and content producer for companies such as NBC News, Euronews, ABS-CBN, Alicia Keys Worldwide, and more.
My lens in storytelling is directly influenced by my decade-long experience on the field as an artist activist and non-profit/NGO worker, which means that my approach is informed by a deep commitment and understanding of social justice and community development.
Though I formally transitioned to the fashion industry in 2014, I identify as a changemaker and activist first and foremost, which means that the stories I tell are anchored in a personal mission to be a force for change.
Covering New York Fashion Week for NBC News, 2016
My purpose as a storyteller is to empower and inspire women of color with the solutions they can take part in, rather than only focusing on the problems.
In this way, the content I create is aimed at galvanizing my audience to contribute their own leadership potential to social change and environmental justice.
I bring solid skill sets as a media talent and content creator, and can help you create media that emotionally connects to a generation of fashion changemakers that seek to live out their truths, dreams, and values.
If you are looking to partner with an ambassador and storyteller that is in alignment with your values and the audience you want to serve, then let’s work together to create a cultural shift powered by story.
“As a filmmaker having had the opportunity to direct talent such as Mary J. Blige, Missy Elliott, and Beyonce, I know when I’m standing with remarkable talent. I had the honor of directing the amazing Ruby Veridiano. Working with her, the indescribable happened again. Ruby is an unbelievable talent I am simply just going to have to follow.
