Show up and give authentically and be yourself.

By telling stories that matter, senior publicist and founder of RC Bonds Public Relations Randy C. Bonds hopes to increase awareness of under-exposed talents by helping them share their stories with the world. Randy has collaborated with a wide variety of celebrities, including actors and artists Randy sits down with Ruben to talk about self love, self worth, authenticity, and his journey overcoming insecurities about his appearance and the value of his work. “You always have to be your authentic self because the right people will be touched at the right time, and you’ll never know the lives you’re touching by genuinely being you.”
Randy urges others to recognize their worth and value because he himself has previously struggled greatly in this area. Gradually over the last four years, Randy has changed his approach to business, himself, and others since deciding to fill his cup first before pouring into others and focusing exclusively on projects he truly believes in and feels aligned with. “What’s for me won’t deplete me, it won’t rob me, it won’t take from me, it won’t leave me on E, and leave me dry. What’s for me, what aligns to me, will fill me up, and it will still be able to .. benefit from me without causing me to ... conform into
something I’m not.”
By operating his life and business in this way, he has enjoyed the most prosperous year of
his life so far in 2022. Self-love, according to Randy, was the biggest lesson he learnt over the last year. As a result of his newfound ability to put himself first, he is now better able to support and be an advocate for others.

So proud of my bro @devin_bowles for an incredible run in @mjthemusical ! ✨
Four times seeing the show, second time catching this touring cast, and I’m still inspired by the growth, the discipline, and how beautifully this production humanizes the man in the mirror. Looking forward to seeing the film this weekend to dive even deeper into understanding who MJ was.
Thank you to @broadwayinhollywood + @hollywoodpantages for having me!
And yes—Trench Kimono, Pants, and Ascot all designed by me.

Photo dump from the week!
Did my first short set and I’m not mad at it at all. Love the hidden gems in these pleated shorts, upcycled from plaid shirts. Got a few requests already, so stay tuned… bespoke versions are on the way. I’ve already started on one 👀
Sewing good and eating good!

How it Started vs. How it’s Going ✂️🧵✨
From a curtain to a custom kimono… and we’re still not done yet. Loving every stitch of this journey.

Quick progress report on the structured kimono — I’m truly embracing every part of this process. I’ve been stretching myself just as much as I stretch these fabrics, finding new ways to make every piece feel uniquely me.
What started as a curtain is now becoming a full expression of vision, texture, and movement.
Kimono, pants, and ascot all designed by me.
I’m honestly enjoying the journey of upcycling and watching something once overlooked transform into something intentional, elevated, and full of character.
Almost finished… stay tuned for the final reveal. 🪡🧵✨

Started with a curtain, now we here !✂️✨
Turning an overlooked curtain into a custom kimono, one stitch and one detail at a time. Still a work in progress, but I’m truly loving this upcycling journey. One man’s trash really is another man’s treasure.

Flashback Friday 🎙️ with @SBIPodcast and @Maestro , where I open up about how growing up in the church not only shaped my worldview, but in many ways limited it. That journey ultimately led me to understand the importance of wellness, healing, and perspective — and became a major catalyst in the creation of @BeGreaterThan_ .

“I Refuse to participate in this robbery!”
At some point, you have to make up in your mind that no one gets to rob you of your time, your energy, your peace, your possessions, or your purpose.
Sometimes the most powerful question you can ask is: “What are we doing, and why?”
Not everything deserves your access. Not every demand deserves your yes. Protect what’s yours.
