In this inspiring episode of Troof Be Told, Ricky Bowden shares his incredible journey of breaking the mold and creating his own path.

Ricky recounts his unexpected enlistment in the military, a decision that would change his life.

From capturing historic moments at the White House—including a candid encounter with First Lady Michelle Obama—to his photos being published in some of the world’s most prestigious outlets, Ricky's journey is a testament to resilience and self-discovery.

He also shares how his love for sports led him to photography roles with the Washington Redskins (now Commanders) and his dedication to highlighting local and collegiate sports through his company. Ricky’s platform emphasizes visibility for HBCUs, and he takes pride in mentoring young, aspiring photographers in his community.
