Erik Ribera
Erik Ribera AKA Prism is a 7 time BYS Alum presently pursuing his Master’s in
Counseling at Cleveland State University in Ohio. The welcome and inclusion he felt at his first
Bear Your Soul is the experience he seeks to offer all of our bear brothers during our time
together. His service and dedication to spaces like Easton where deep connection, vulnerability,
and joy can be shared openly, stems from his life experience as a queer, female-to-male
transman. So much of his personal growth has been gained through participation at BYS. Excited
to be your host, he welcomes the opportunity to give back to the community that has given him
so much.
