Ryan

Ever elusive but endlessly inspiring, Ryan is always finding beautiful things and sharing them on VERO. Whether it be furniture, artifacts and objet d'art from hundreds of years ago, music and movies both popular and obscure - any post from him is always a feast for my senses.

His cheeky wit and wordplay are also always much appreciated, especially when he sneaks it in captions probably not even caring if anyone notices. It's always a joy when he's around.

Cristina Mittermeier

A recent VERO member, Christina's photos of the underwater world always thrill me and makes me wonder why I'm not scuba diving right this minute. Her nonprofit, Sea Legacy, champions our oceans by creating powerful media that inspire people to understand our oceans and take action to protect them. Storytelling and ocean conservation? Count me in.

Rethink Food

A favorite of mine to donate to on VERO, Rethink Food works to create a more sustainable and just food system. They partner with restaurants across the country to provide delicious and nutritious meals to communities that are food insecure.

VERO''s place feature is a really perfect fit for an organization like Rethink so that we can learn about restaurants to visit that not only provide a great dining experience but are helping their neighborhoods as well. A win-win for all!

Kara Garcia

A budding illustrator and animator (though budding is a funny word because this lovely teenager has enough talent and work for a lifetime), Kara's comics and shorts are a treat to see on VERO. Her characters are quirky and the stories always put a smile on my face.

I'm excited to keep watching her grow and am happy that the future of animation is bright in her talented hands. Only a freshman in college, she is already quite an inspiration to all creatives across all generations.

Christina Wren

Christina is an actor, writer, producer, director, wife to Demetrius Wren, and mother to their beautiful children.

The films and series they create while raising their little ones are always thought-provoking, entertaining, and an insight into her world. I don't know how she does it all while always looking fabulously cool and collected! She is a rockstar through and through.
