Ariana nurtures mental resilience with music and lyrics.

As an activist and entrepreneur, Ariana believes that fostering creativity and creating space for curiosity are key to good mental health. She has devoted her life to pushing the boundaries of mindfulness tools, making them accessible, interesting, and relatable for more people, predominantly through music and lyrics. Ariana founded Spoke, which is a global movement and soon-to-launch app, merging hip-hop, lyricism, and lo-fi with meditation. Through Spoke's community of notable UK hip-hop artists, producers, and creatives, Spoke is innovating a brand new sound and culture of meditation.

Ariana is committed to consistently evolving her expertise, and most recently became a Cambridge University scholar in social innovation, deepening the academic research and thought leadership surrounding the Spoke movement. When she isn't working or researching, Ariana loves to dance, having grown up doing ballet, as well as to explore her wide range of curiosities including discovering new places and foods.
