It’s so important that we see our people winning and that we show our people how to win—as we win—so that we can win together.
About Richie
- I’ve always been passionate about producing music and music videos.
- I started getting into trouble as a teenager—I was failing out of school and selling drugs.
- After going to a workshop to learn about patriarchy, racism, and mass incarceration, I realized it all rang true for me—however, I didn’t fully take the concepts to heart until I went to prison.
- I was trying to build a music label and clothing line but didn’t have the money to start it up because I had lost my job, so I decided to try to steal enough to start.
- I was arrested for robbery and spent seven years in California state prison.
- While in prison, I started doing policy work and also worked with men to help improve our lives by discussing topics like patriarchy and toxic masculinity.
- Since being released from prison I’ve continued to question concepts of patriarchy and speak on cellblock feminism, mass incarceration, and restorative justice.
- I also run Question Culture, a public-benefit corporation that produces abolitionist music, music videos, and clothing.
