In this episode, we dive into the heart of Liberian culture and identity with our guest, Aries Adriano, also known as Stephen Cooper. Together, we explore the essence of the "No Spider Story" mantra, a powerful message advocating for a focused, drama-free path in life, while promoting the richness of the Liberian story through fashion.

Our conversation traverses through the cultural landscapes of Liberia, Ghana, and the U.S., revealing how these experiences shape Liberian entrepreneurship, community, and mindset. Aries shares his journey from Liberia through his varied experiences, including his military service and his drive to amplify the Liberian brand globally.
