Fresh drop with Ricky Lee Barnes and it's a true Midwestern gem.

Ricky talks to us about how he came to be in Dayton, OH and his journey to Chicago.

Speaking in depth about his introduction to the hospitality industry, we examine his trajectory and finding himself amongst queer spaces.

This episode speaks in depth about our individual ideologies while discovering commonality amongst our independent experiences.

Ricky builds out a beautiful narrative that empowers a reality to actualize your very own self worth. 

As always, we thank Blind Barber Chicago for hosting this necessary conversation, Ritual Zero Proof for the product, Lavell Miller of Bayab Gin for the support alongside Chiyo Takemoto of Coquetel Collective, Ashley Lindsey for stepping in for garn:t and Quari Ice. 

Let this special episode truly sit with you as its brilliantly something special. 

Take care out there; see you soon.
