I, Ricardo Bernal Morales Jr, founder of The Ghetto Brick Foundation do not believe that success should depend on your zip code. I was raised on the east side of Bakersfield, California. I attended Voorhies Elementary, Stiern Middle School, Foothill High School, and graduated with my bachelor's degree in Business Administration from California State University, Bakersfield. Like many people in our community, my parents endured the hardships that come with being undocumented. Despite having less than most, they gave me everything, setting me up for success. My goal with The Ghetto Brick Foundation is that: to set my community up for success.
