Better in Person episode 10, Finally Offline's street interview series hosted by Savvy, features Riley. She says she is different on both but better in person: super baddie online, kind of a dork in person, and everyone tells her they like the dork version better, which she says is who she really is, though she will not post it on Instagram. Offline she makes jewelry under Gemma NYC, including the necklace and anklet she wears in the episode, and works as an aesthetician doing facials. Asked if that keeps her offline, she is honest that she is not offline at all: she is doing both.

Key Points

Riley says she is super baddie online and kind of a dork in person, and everyone tells her they like the dork version better
She says the dork is who she really is, but she will not post herself being a dork on her IG
She makes jewelry under Gemma NYC, including the necklace and anklet she wears in the episode
She works as an aesthetician doing facials, so she always has something to do
Asked if that keeps her offline, she answers honestly that she is not offline at all: she is doing both

Riley keeps two versions of herself, and she knows exactly which one is real.

Better in person or better online? "I'm different on both, but I would say better in person." Different how? "I'm like super baddie online, and then in person everyone's like, you're actually kind of a dork. But they're like, I like this version of you better. And that's who I really am. But I'm not going to post myself being a dork on my IG."

Savvy checks the math: super baddie, as opposed to just regular baddie? "I'm not going to go that crazy. I'm like regular baddie." Too late. The tape says super. "If you're super baddie, we want you to embrace being a super baddie when you aren't online."

The dork version has a lot going on. She's creative. She makes jewelry, including the necklace she's wearing and the anklet she made. The plug: Gemma NYC, "Gemma with a G." She's also an aesthetician, so she does facials. "I'm always busy."

Which is when the honesty kicks in. Is that what keeps her offline? "Oh, I'm not offline." She laughs. "We're doing both. We're like DJing on both."

Shout out: the family. Ten in, and the dork wins.

🎤 Host: Savvy
