Meet Richard Charles | Content Creator, Business Owner

We had the good fortune of connecting with Richard Charles and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Richard, what do you want people to remember about you?
I want my legacy to be one of positivity and light. I want people to remember me as someone who could cheer them up, help them through hard times, and bring a smile to their face. You never truly know what someone is going through, so I try to be a source of joy and encouragement. Through my content, it’s an incredible feeling to know I can brighten someone’s day, and hearing how much it means to people to meet me is something I cherish.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Before I could freely share myself on social media, I had to go through a journey of self-discovery. It took time to embrace my body and build confidence after struggling with body dysmorphia and self-doubt. But as I learned to love myself, I realized many others felt the same way, so I started creating content to help people see their own beauty and worth.

Content creation has opened so many doors for me, allowing me to meet incredible people and inspire even more along the way. My goal is to uplift others and show them they’re not alone in their journey.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would love to give a shoutout to my friend Noelia Nava. She has done incredible work in previous presidential campaigns and is deeply committed to advocacy, especially for immigrants facing deportation. As a proud Mexican woman, she remains faithful to the law and dedicated to making a difference. Her hard work and passion make her a true staple in the community, and I deeply admire everything she does to create positive change.
