Alicia Araujo-Elatassi is a proud native of Texas, a fierce fashionista, and an extraordinary businesswoman on the rise! She is a woman with many roles, and her diverse skillset ranges in brand styling, podcasting, mentoring, and real estate investments. Alicia's undying passion for business, fashion, world travel, and education has provided a path that has led her on an amazing journey to her very own podcast, Vibes by Alicia.

Alicia started her career as a public school teacher and administrator in the local school districts. Her career in teaching gave her the impetus to write a book for her students and their parents.  Education has always been a high priority for her, books led her to create a reality outside of her small neighborhood and allowed her to study at one of Houston's premier universities. After 17 years as a teacher, she opened her first small business, a contemporary global boutique. Upon the advent of Covid she and her husband Rusk began investing in real estate, those quiet months also lead her to create a community of listeners through her podcast Vibes by Alicia.

Alicia has been married for 22 years to her college sweetheart Rusk and they have 2 very generous and creative boys. She loves to travel the world, read biographies and go on foodie dates!
