Bio

Curize Richards is a corporate executive, full-stack marketer, and entrepreneur with two decades of experience across media and advertising.

 

Richards built her career across the corporate media landscape, rising from promotions intern to marketing executive. Throughout her career, she has held leadership roles including Vice President of Creative Strategy & Marketing at one of the country’s largest media companies, where her work focused on creative strategy, advertising sales marketing, and brand partnerships that drive revenue growth. Her work in the role earned her recognition twice by Radio Ink Magazine as one of Radio’s Future Black Leaders.

 

She began her career in local radio, working with iconic New York City stations HOT 97-FM and 107.5 WBLS-FM, where she held roles in promotions and marketing. Her passion for music—particularly Hip-Hop—sparked her entry into the industry and shaped her focus in the audio and media space.

 

Richards’s passion for media began in her early twenties, when she founded and ran a digital lifestyle magazine targeting young Black women. Building a magazine from the ground up required her to learn advertising, marketing, and content and creative development, experience that ultimately became the foundation of her professional expertise.

 

That expertise led Richards to launch Enrich’d, a consulting and partnership company that helps businesses, brands, and media companies grow through strategy, systems, and storytelling. Enrich’d specializes in media monetization, supporting media companies, networks and creators, translate content and audiences into scalable business models through ad sales strategy.

Richards also serves as Executive Producer of the Roc Solid Podcast and is a business advisor to Roc Solid Global, the company of recording artist and entrepreneur Malik “Memphis Bleek” Cox.

 

In addition to her work in media and consulting, Richards is a college instructor and Professional Development educator, where she teaches a career development course she designed with underrepresented professionals in mind. Her experience in education inspired her to create Corporate Come-Up, a workshop designed to help young Black professionals better understand and navigate corporate environments. Through this work, Richards has become a sought-after speaker for organizations and events focused on multicultural audiences and professional development.

 

Richards is also active in the advocacy and advancement of Black media, arts, and storytelling. She has contributed to industry panels, participated in documentary projects, and recently expanded her portfolio by angel investing in the 2024 Broadway revival of The Wiz.

 

She holds a Master of Science in Interactive Communications from Quinnipiac University and a Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing from Berkeley College, graduating magna cum laude from both programs.

 

Beyond her professional accomplishments, Richards is also a leukemia survivor and bone marrow transplant recipient. That life changing journey has fueled a deep commitment to supporting cancer-related nonprofits and raising awareness about the importance of bone marrow donation.
