Google: The Adulthood Featuring Rico Nasty by Arts & Letters Creative Co
- Location:

"We're all just trying our best" - that is the tagline and theme for The Adulthood, an animated content series created by Google Chromebook that features real conversations about real topics surrounding the idea of growing up.
The newest episode in the recently launched series features Rico Nasty, a singer, songwriter and record producer who has been vocal about mental health. She talks about her journey into adulthood, likening it to the purchase of her brand new pink car and having to deal with all the problems that ensue with it.
She touches on her personal struggles with body dysmorphia and mental wellness, while offering tips and strategies to viewers: from normalizing talking to yourself, to taking walks, to getting yourself ready for “pretty bitch time” by tuning out the negative thoughts and diving into some good new fashioned self care.
With their presence in schools, Chromebook has been a part of helping Gen Z navigate their education and saw the opportunity to expand on that already-built relationship by providing a resource to help make the transition out of school and into adulthood easier.
The Adulthood aims to help the next generation bridge the gap into adulthood by offering new ways to consider the journey. The storytelling series will feature Gen Z thought leaders speaking about topics such as finance, identity, dating, entrepreneurship, mental health and environmentalism. Each episode includes an interactive component for viewers to take a deeper dive into the topics.
