Air date: Sep 16, 2025

On this episode, Taji Ameen steps into the goth scene as part of his ongoing journey of self-discovery after going independent. He visits Necromancy Cosmetics in San Juan for a full transformation by the incredibly talented Luanne Rós, who gives him a dramatic new look. Later, Taji heads to a goth party in Caguas, where the vibe is raw, theatrical, and deeply expressive. It's a glimpse into a subculture that values individuality over everything—and for Taji, it's another unexpected but meaningful stop on the path to figuring out who he’s becoming.
