Rica G. is a multi-hyphenate cultural practitioner on a mission to serve as a catalyst for liberation throughout the Diaspora using fellowship, technology, and the arts.

An innovative educator at the core, she has transformed stages, surf camps, skate parks, computer labs, traditional classrooms, and more into exciting spaces of community learning for scholars of all ages. No matter the audience, anyone within earshot is going to learn something or heal some aspect of themselves when she takes the floor.

Community engagement and development is integral to Rica’s mission which is evident in her work with youth mentoring and event curation.
