Summary
Tarek Ali is no stranger to sharing his healing and trauma with the world. Tarek has been creating content online for over a decade as a YouTuber, advocate, author, writer, and healer. In a radically vulnerable approach to engaging online, Tarek’s audience has journeyed with him as he healed relationships with others and himself. This week we sat down to discuss how his initial goal of being seen, heard, and loved online blossomed into a career of healing and artistic expression.
Tune in to learn what Tarek thinks about:
- Building creative trust in the elasticity of our ideas
- Why normalizing conversations about sex is good for public health
- How “cancellation” helped him confront unconscious biases
- Balancing privacy and transparency as a very public online figure
- How early traumatic experiences impacted his relationship with his body
- Taking a preventative approach to skincare and wellness

| 0:00.0 | Hello, hello, this is Brooke DeVard and you're listening to the Naked Beauty podcast. |
| 0:06.0 | I'm not even going to take a lot of time with this intro because I am so eager to get into this conversation with Tariq Ali. |
| 0:12.0 | Tariq is someone that kind of came across my page as I was scrolling and just listening to different voices, |
| 0:17.0 | and I love the vulnerability in which he spoke. |
| 0:20.0 | I loved the candid |
| 0:21.1 | conversations he was having about self-love and about healing himself. And Tarik is really interesting |
| 0:26.9 | because he's exemplary of a generation who navigated adolescence and young adulthood online. He |
| 0:33.0 | basically grew up on the internet. And Tarik is also someone who used to share everything about their life, |
| 0:39.0 | but that also comes with consequences. And as he's grown older, he's renegotiated what and where he |
| 0:43.6 | shares and how he chooses to show up. He leads with vulnerability, which is incredibly brave, |

| 0:56.4 | I so love this conversation. I'm so excited for you all to hear it. Before we get into today's conversation, I would like to give a trigger warning |

| 1:06.6 | in this conversation, but there's a whole lot of light and levity and joy in the conversation |
| 1:11.0 | as well. I'm so excited for you all to get to know him better. Let's get into the conversation. |
| 1:18.4 | Hello, hello. This is Brooke DeVard, and you're listening to the Naked Beauty podcast. I'm joined |
| 1:22.9 | by a very exciting guest. I'm just going to give a little bit of background in your bio before we get |
| 1:27.1 | into everything. |
| 1:28.3 | Okay. Terik Ali is an award-winning storyteller, writer, creator, and actor well known for his |
| 1:34.2 | powerful voice that sparks thought-provoking conversations and encourages self-acceptance, growth, |
| 1:39.4 | and healing, having experienced homelessness, poverty, sexual assault, and bullying for his race, obesity, |
| 1:46.9 | and queerness growing up, Tariq turned to YouTube to share his journey at the young age of 15 in 2014, |
