Fowler, former host of Fowler Show, a national syndicated radio program, is now known for his work as a contributing writer for Forbes and BET.com. That’s where his long-form storytelling has shed light on millennials’ issues and topics that live at the intersection of culture, policymaking, and societal change.

Foundations, nonprofits, corporate brands, elected leaders, and local governments have utilized Fowler’s storytelling experience to develop engagement strategies for their increasingly diverse audiences.
As a proud Jamaican American, with both parents hailing from the Caribbean nation, Fowler’s work as a storyteller began earnestly through his involvement in political activism in his home state of Florida.

His work has helped propel educators, frontline healthcare workers, and elected officials at the forefront of the emerging electorate.
Fowler, a believer in empowering and equipping future generations, has served as a Senior Media Fellow for the New Leader’s Council and as the Chairman of the Center for Black Equity. In both roles, Richard channeled his experience as a storyteller to train and equip millennials with the skills needed to advocate for their respective communities.

Do not believe the naysayers, haters, and those that want to charge you an arm and leg; your dreams and personal brand can become a reality, and Richard is here to show you the way.

(1) Never let money be an excuse
(2) Never give up
(3) Never take no for an answer
(4) Never wait in line
