    Arrows Fitz[2][3] (born Arielle Scott;[4] 1989), commonly known as Ari Fitz, is a model, vlogger, television personality, and film producer. He[a] is best known for his YouTube channel Tomboyish, in which he explores topics related to being an androgynous person who presents as both masculine and feminine.[5][6][7]

    Life and career

    [edit]

    Fitz was born in Vallejo, California.[4] He attended University of California, Berkeley and received a degree in business,[8] and began to model as an undergraduate.[8] He has modeled for companies such as UGG and Kenzo, and appeared on a cover for Nylon.[9]

Fitz also produces short films that he posts to his channel, such as Bubbles, a scripted web series, and My Mama Wears Timbs, a short documentary about a masculine of center pregnant woman.[11][12]
