Occupation Cultural Producer, Lifestyle Blogger, Photographer, and Marketing Specialist
Location Los Angeles, California, United States
Introduction I'm Melissa Richardson Banks (also known as #MRB). I'm an independent cultural producer and unexpected photographer who has lived, worked and played in the Arts District of Downtown Los Angeles since 1993. I run this Tumblr blog accompanied by a website and an extended social media presence to share my daily photos and stories that document people, places, events, street scenes, activities and other items of interest in my quickly changing neighborhood. Weekly, I offer free tours of the area through my #RADDsocial, which is the Arts District Bike-Walk Social Club. If that isn't enough, I also own and operate a marketing firm founded in 2000 called CauseConnect. In addition, I manage The Chicano Collection of Cheech Marin.
