Many Moons Ago, Our Story.

Where It Began: Skrappy’s & The Birth of a Movement

In 2011, I joined Skrappy’s, a youth collective providing a safe space for at-risk kids in Tucson. There, I taught screen printing in a vibrant, split-level space: upstairs, b-boys and b-girls practiced moves; downstairs, musicians laid tracks. It was electric.

But this was more than a studio—it was a cultural awakening. Many of these youth were fighting to save their Indigenous studies program (featured in the powerful documentary Precious Knowledge). Their pride in their Native roots moved me deeply, especially having grown up hearing peers deny their Indigenous heritage. From their fire, groups like Flowers and Bullets emerged—a testament to their resilience.

Fresh 2son Descendants & The Idea That Changed Everything

The b-boy crew F2D (Fresh 2son Descendants) became my creative family. Their name sparked something in me: a vision to reclaim and celebrate Indigenous identity through art and humor. That’s how True Descendants Est. B.C. was born—a brand rooted in our past, present, and future.

This is my story. Welcome to the movement.
