  • In this episode of It’s Sommer Time, we’re joined by Ari Davis, a D.C. native and Howard University alum who transitioned from a demanding career in Big Law to launching her own successful fashion brand, "STRIPT." Ari shares her personal journey, from the challenges of working in antitrust law and managing a toxic work environment to overcoming postpartum depression and balancing motherhood with entrepreneurship.
    Ari takes us behind the scenes of starting a clothing line, navigating trademarks, LLCs, and marketing strategies, and how she merges her passion for fashion with community-building. She also dives into the importance of authentic friendships, enforcing boundaries, and her future plans for expanding her business.
    Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, a new parent, or someone looking to redefine success, Ari’s story will inspire you. Tune in to hear her insights on business growth, the rewards of motherhood, and staying true to your passion.

    This interview was too cute and super informational. I love her brand! I remember when she first dropped back in 2020 and I purchased her Coco bodysuit! I randomly saw her on TikTok a few days ago and got rehooked due to her style and branding! Just made a purchase and I have 2 more coming up soon. Glad to see she’s still going. Blessings to your channel as well girl!!! Videos like this are so cool and would love to see more ❤❤❤❤
