With a culture that incorporates hip hop, self-sufficiency, farming, and learning about horses, Randy Savvy a community activist, entrepreneur, musical artist, and co-founder of both Compton Jr. Equestrians and the Compton Cowboys wants to use what he learned as a child to combat stereotypes of what it means to be Black in America. Born and raised in Los Angeles, Savvy comes from a long line of equestrians; his family has owned Richland Farms in Compton for upwards of five decades. In fact, Savvy learned to ride as part of the Compton Junior Posse, a gang-prevention program founded by his aunt Mayisha Akbar that's since evolved into Savvy's own organization, the Compton Cowboys. He joins Tavis to speak about the genesis and legacy of the Compton Cowboys, how he ended up opening 2022 Academy Awards, dropping his first ever single produced by Dr. Dre, and how he hopes to be an inspiration for the Black community to be more self-sufficient.

Introducing listeners to her fierce devotion to community and care for the animal world, Keiara Wade, the Compton Cowgirl, considers the ways care work includes the human and more-than-human. Though the connection between humans and animals is often unspoken, it is a vital tie, and Keiara emphasizes the way the specific tie between human and horse can be incredibly therapeutic, healing, and nourishing.  Keiara shares her journey with the Compton Cowboys and her experiences as a Black cowgirl. The Compton Cowboys were founded in 2017 by a group of Compton locals who had grown up riding together.  Recognizing the importance of intergenerational community and influence, Keiara hopes that this program and connection to the horses can continue for generations to come. Compton Cowboys is about so much more than just riding, and Keiara shares the significance of making spaces for young people to feel heard and valued . The respect and accountability necessary for a good relationship with a horse is also necessary for a good relationship with each other. How might animals be our guides and companions in making the world more equitable? Keiara Wade is The Compton Cowgirl of the Compton Cowboys.She is in the process of pursuing her barrel racing career and becoming the first black woman to make it to the NFR. Horses have always been her positive outlet to the traumatic world in which she grew up. She believes in giving back to our younger generations by allowing them the experience of the equine world and possibly leading them away from the streets and gang violence. She recently moved to Houston to accomplish her dream, supported by the Compton Cowboys and the Compton Junior Equestrians program. She is a mother of two children Taylor and Michael. This episode of For The Wild is brought to you by Catori Life. Music by Jess Williamson, Kaivalya, and Sarah Maricha White.

It's fair to say Keb Mo is simply one of the most popular choices to play on anyone's show. An easy pull. He delivers thoughtfulness, groove, and joy every time. So imagine my delight in having him Zoom guest from his home in Nashville. Keb's new album is Good to be. It reflects the loss of his mother, returning home to Compton to remodel and freshen up the home he was brought up in and to reconnect with “the community”.  Now that's one thing we talk about - I never thought of Compton as a community because everything I read and heard only referenced the toughness of the streets and what could be a hard life. (NWA!!) Keb references and hangs with The Compton Cowboys.. real-life people. Legends in The Compton history. Keb also talks strongly about his thoughts on  Black History Month, working with Vince Gill, Old Crow Medicine Show, covering his friend Bill Withers, etc. He answers the last question straight up – Did you find the blues or did the blues find you? The complete audio and zoom interview drops right after The Stew.  Details  at www.mulliganstew.ca

Black cowboys have been a major part of Black global history and yet have been sidelined in history. Recently, there has been a resurgence and realisiation that African-Americans were some of the first, highly skilled, trailblazing, and most famous cowboys who were and are instrumental in developing cowboy culture in the United States. Even more, Black cowboys are not historical relics of the past and still are a major part of contemporary African-American communities who continue to redefine and innovate cowboy culture. In this episode we discuss the five most notable Black cowboys and cowgirls in history. These individuals were Nat Love, Bill Pickett, Bose Ikard, Bass Reeves, and Johanna July. To learn more and support the Compton Cowboys: https://www.comptoncowboys.com/ & a short documentary about the group https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AqFB_LA94s.

Meet Randy Savvy from the Compton Cowboys. Randy is the leader of the Compton Cowboys and the Director of the Compton Jr. Equestrians. Did you know Compton is an equestrian city? Randy tells us the history of the Richland Farms section of Compton and their equestrian culture. When crime started becoming more prevalent in Compton, his family was faced with a decision: leave or stay? They decided they were not only going to stay but they were going to give back to their community and do their best to create a change in their community. Randy's aunt started the Compton Jr Posse, a children's equestrian program that teaches children responsibility through horses. When his aunt retired, Randy took over as Director and rebranded it to the Compton Jr Equestrians. When Hollywood started looking for black cowboys, they reached out to Randy and his friends for more and more opportunities and the Compton Cowboys were born. The Compton Cowboys have appeared in ads for Guiness, Ariat, Boot Barn, Adidas, and more. Randy also talks about all of the future projects he has in the works and his plans to represent the black cowboy across all forms of media. He released a single called Colorblind with Dr. Dre and explains the process of meeting and working with one of the greatest producers of all time.

You might know Randy Savvy as a familiar face and the founding member of Compton Cowboys but on this episode of Slauson Girl Speaks, I talk with Randy on his new EP as well as his interesting journey of trying to merge the sounds of Hip-Hop and Country music together. The conversation also touched on the history of his family and where his inspiration came from to establish the Compton Cowboys as a brand. In just a few short years, Compton Cowboys has been involved in some major corporate campaigns. Randy wants people to know him for the music and the fact that he has been working on developing his sound quietly for some time. Now, Randy is ready to let the world hear his sound, with his Dr. Dre produced 2020 single “Colorblind,” followed by his recently released EP, Late Night Ride which can be heard on all streaming platforms.

Walter Thompson-Hernández is a former New York Times reporter who is now moving into the fields of podcasting and documentary film making. While at the Times, he traveled the world looking for and profiling fascinating subcultures. One of those was the group of black horse riders known as The Compton Cowboys. Their story piqued Walter's interest, and he recently released his book looking at their fascinating and fraught life trying to hold onto their horses and non-profit during a tumultuous year of changing leadership at the top of the program. The book is The Compton Cowboys: The New Generation of Cowboys in America's Urban Heartland, and it is published by HarperCollins.

Libros' own Cuauhtemoc Hernandez talks with author and journalist Walter Thompson-Hernandez (no relation) his recent book The Compton Cowboys, growing up in Los Angeles, influences and more.

The Compton Cowboys is a story about trauma and transformation, race and identity, compassion, and ultimately, belonging. Walter Thompson-Hernández paints a unique and unexpected portrait of this city, pushing back against stereotypes to reveal an urban community in all its complexity, tragedy, and triumph.

Home for the Cowboys is a ranch in the middle of one of the few remaining agricultural enclaves in greater Los Angeles, known as Richland Farms. Once a predominantly white area, it attracted black residents who moved to California from the rural South during the great African-American migrations of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and more recently many Latinos. In 1988, Mayisha Akbar—a successful real estate agent in Los Angeles—started an organization called the Compton Junior Posse at Richland Farms to give young black people not only a respite from the horrendous warfare between the Crips and the Bloods on the streets, but an alternative set of experiences and values. Three decades later, Mayisha was getting ready to retire and turn the reigns of running the ranch over to a group of young men and one woman, mostly alumni of the Compton Junior Posse, who had reconstituted themselves in 2016 as the Compton Cowboys. Their leader was one of her nephews, Randy Hook, and the challenges he and the others faced were daunting. It cost $25,000 a month just to keep the ranch running, and most of the previous funding had been provided by wealthy white donors, who were now leaving with Mayisha or dying off. In order to save the last standing cowboy ranch in the city, the Cowboys had to find new funding, fend off the threat of rising land prices and gentrification, and show a new generation of young Compton residents that cowboys were still cool. Thompson-Hernández spent a year with the Compton Cowboys in order to tell that compelling and multifaceted story through the stories of the group’s individual members. As he vividly details, the ranch is far more than a place to teach young people how to ride and care for horses. Most importantly, it’s a place where people can be themselves and feel they truly belong. For each of the Cowboys, it functions as a renewable source of life, where their friendships are preserved and where the violent trauma that all of them—including the author—have experienced can be healed. They have all lost relatives and close friends to gun violence; many come from fractured families; some have been involved in gangs; some have done time in prison; some have struggled with substance addiction; most are economically insecure. In addition to other traumatic events, the Cowboys have even lost horses to street accidents or gun violence. These incidents are devastating in a very particular way, since the Cowboys form intimate bonds with animals that often have a history of neglect and abuse, and that like themselves have been relegated to the margins. In many ways, Thompson-Hernández notes, the Cowboys sustain the spirit of the entire Compton community. In addition to their everyday physical presence in the streets, they are often invited to perform in parades throughout Los Angeles, and increasingly appear in social media, advertisements, and films. Despite extremely limited resources, some members of the group compete professionally and successfully in jumping and various rodeo events, bringing much-needed positive attention to their community. For the Compton Cowboys, the ranch is also a memory center of their culture, where they can learn about the legacy of black cowboys, which stretches back into the nineteenth century. As children, they never saw black cowboys on their television screens or read about the proud history of black cowboys in the founding of the American West. They were never taught about the ingenuity of cowboys like Nat Love, who was born a slave in Tennessee in 1854, freed at the conclusion of the Civil War, and gained prominence throughout the Southwest as a trusted guide and showman. Or Bill Pickett, one of the West’s most famous rodeo champions and actors, who would later be inducted into the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame.

*Disclaimer: occasional adult language* From Abercrombie, Adidas and Ariat to Zara, Compton Cowboys are putting the city of Compton and black cowboys on the map. In this episode we had the pleasure to speak with Randy Savvy, the managing member of the Compton Cowboys. Randy speaks with us about the history of their ranch, how they manage their herd and their non-profit organization Compton Jr. Equestrians. He discusses the challenges they have faced as a family run organization, how the program has developed as well as some of the key lessons he has learned and tried to incorporate into their program. With his background in entertainment and media, Randy used his professional skills to develop a brand that has transcended social media and infiltrated big box brands. In the post-“Old Town Road” era where the cowboy aesthetic reigns high, Randy shares his philosophy for the modern day cowboy, gaining sponsorships, and content curation as one of his passions. Randy reminds us that this is their lifestyle and the only difference now is the attention. Their main priority is still the kids, the horses and their farm.

Join me as I talk with Randy Savvy about his noble cause of improving the lives of others. Randy is a 28 year old, leader of the COMPTON COWBOYS crew and Executive Director of nonprofit youth equestrian organization Compton Junior Equestrians. As a life-long cowboy in his hometown of Richland Farms, a small rural town in the inner-city of Compton, Randy has dedicated his life to sharing the cowboy culture both locally and worldwide especially amongst the youth. With a profound love for the outdoors and a deep passion for horses, he says horses saved his life, which is why he is on a mission to pay it forward in his community by continuing the family legacy of using horses to improve the lives of others.
