Alumni Spotlight: Ricky Frailey
A Journey from Passion to Profession
Meet Ricky Frailey, the dynamic owner of Aezhana Media Group LLC, and a recent graduate of Ohio Media School's Columbus campus. Ricky embarked on his educational journey at Ohio Media School to enhance his video editing skills for his burgeoning YouTube channel.
Mastering the Craft
During his time at school, Ricky not only mastered video editing but also excelled in recording audio, lighting techniques for photography and videography, networking, and real-world project management. These skills are now seamlessly incorporated into his work for both his company and clients.
According to Ricky, beyond technical proficiencies like Adobe Suite and video composition, learning effective time management was crucial for his progress. With the guidance of supportive instructors like Jae Esquire, Ricky successfully integrated these valuable insights into his workflow.
Collaboration and Community Impact
Through collaborations formed in school, Ricky continues to partner with classmate Diondra Diop (Didi) on their successful true crime podcast, "The Dark Deeds Diary Podcast," available on major platforms including YouTube. Additionally, he collaborates with instructor Jae Esquire on various projects.
Ricky's vision extends beyond personal success. He aims to expand Aezhana Media Group LLC while making a positive impact in the community by offering employment opportunities to aspiring media professionals. His storytelling not only entertains but also advocates for true-crime justice and closure.
Words of Wisdom
To current students, Ricky advises keeping an open mind, embracing failure as a learning opportunity, and seizing networking opportunities. For soon-to-be graduates, he recommends staying connected with peers for collaborations and applying learned skills tactfully with potential clients.
The Path Less Traveled
Ricky’s career path is a testament to resilience and passion. Raised primarily by his mother in Orlando, Florida, and Portmore, Jamaica, Ricky developed a love for the arts and storytelling from a young age. This passion was further ignited after his deployment to Iraq, leading him to explore photography, videography, and podcasting.
However, the road wasn't always smooth. Financial constraints and the pandemic challenged his pursuit of photography. Despite setbacks, Ricky’s determination led him to re-discover his passion, ultimately guiding him to Ohio Media School, where his brand identity and current skillset flourished.
Proud Achievements
Ricky's work spans photography, videography, and podcasting. He is particularly proud of his photo prints, which encapsulate moments in time and tell powerful stories. His true crime podcast, "The Dark Deeds Diary," is another significant accomplishment, reflecting his multifaceted storytelling abilities.
Values That Drive
For Ricky, being a good person is paramount. He believes in helping those around him and improving the environment, driven by patience, effective communication, and empathy. Ricky’s mission is to leave a positive impact on the world, one story at a time.
