"Risk it all, bet it all, because you're going to land on your feet." Itika was born in the projects in Richmond, CA, surrounded by working-class families who wanted to better themselves and help one another. However, she spent her early years growing up in an upper-middle class suburb outside of Richmond, where she was shown a new world of possibility. But it wasn't until she moved back to Richmond to live with her grandparents (shot out to Big Mama!) that the culture shock set in. From that point on, the focus was getting out of Richmond...and the only way was through education and college. Itika was never ashamed of being smart and studious, and embraced its coolness. With her thirst for knowledge, and driven by immense curiosity, Itika would soon conquer her initial dream, and move to LA to become a UCLA Bruin (winter Bruin to be exact). She got outta Richmond...so what happens next? With only blank pages to fill, Itika's quest to discover one's self would begin. From Perry Mason aspirations, to working for Oprah, and becoming a thriving entrepreneur, only now is when Itika is truly showing up to the world. This is a story of overcoming adversity, focusing on what you believe in, treating people well, and most importantly, respecting yourself. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Itika Oldwine. #MamaWeMadeIt
