Empowering Communities Through Creativity
At the Ricky Codio Foundation, we believe in the transformative power of creativity, mentorship, and community. Our mission is to empower individuals to unlock their potential through innovative educational initiatives, mentorship programs, and advocacy efforts.
Rooted in a passion for photography and the arts, we leverage creativity as a tool for change—connecting, inspiring, and uplifting those we serve. Through our programs, we aim to make a meaningful impact, nurturing growth and opportunities in underrepresented communities.
Join us as we champion the arts, advocate for equity, and build a brighter future together. Whether you’re here to learn, collaborate, or contribute, we welcome you to be part of our journey.
Together, we can create a world where creativity knows no bounds and every individual has the support they need to succeed.
Join us in empowering communities through creativity and mentorship. Your support can shape futures and inspire change.

In January 2022, Rasheena was diagnosed with invasive ductal breast cancer. Despite her illness, she remained dedicated to her family and the causes she held close to her heart. On August 26, 2024, we said goodbye to a true inspiration.
Through the PinkMission Summit, we celebrate the lives and stories of individuals like Rasheena. Captured through the lens of Ricky Codio, these photographs honor their beauty, strength, and journeys. Each image tells a story—a snapshot of love, courage, and the impact they made on the world.
The art of storytelling through photography allows us to preserve and share these powerful moments, ensuring their legacies live on.
