Brett Ramos “Show Up Ready” Memorial Fund
With heavy hearts, we share that we received the unfortunate news of the passing of our Co-Founder, Brett Ramos. Brett was a devoted father to Young Citizen Artists Awbrey Ramos and Blyss Ramos, and the beloved brother of our Founder & CEO, Tareake Dorill Ramos. The Brett Ramos “Show Up Ready” Memorial Fund honors his life and legacy by ensuring Young Citizen Artists have access to uniforms, so they can show up prepared, confident, and focused, ready for success without having to get ready. Through this fund, Brett’s spirit of care, commitment, and showing up for others lives on.

Support The City We Deserve
Invest in The City We Deserve. Not the city we were handed—but the one we are building together. A city where Young Citizen Artists tell the truth with volume and craft, where families are centered, and where culture is a lifeline, not a line item. At Dorill, we don’t ask our youth to shrink to fit. We say: stand as you are, build as you imagine, and create at the level of your future. Your investment helps make that future possible.
