About Golden Renaissance Productions
Golden Renaissance Productions (GRP) is more than a multimedia studio—it is a movement of mindful creation. Founded by Ricky J. Fico, GRP serves as a sanctuary for those who believe in the radical power of empathy, the necessity of social justice, the beauty of authentic storytelling whether through art, music, writing or performing.
Operating at the intersection of Literature, Media, and Art, we are dedicated to building a world we can be proud of, one story and one gift at a time.
The Literary Division: Stories with a Soul
Beginning with my three main literary works - hopefully crafted to make the invisible visible, explores the raw edges of the human experience—homelessness, addictions, and poverty. But more importantly, the resilience of the human spirit, the will to overcome the odds, and `1the drive to utiliize one’s talents .
Beyond the Broken Door: A powerful semi-autobiographical journey following Roman Cicero. Set on the streets of Chicago, this narrative offers a raw, compassionate look at dignity in the face of homelessness.
Moods Over a September Moon – A Memoir: A deeply personal exploration of growing up in a broken home, rising through personal storms, and finding hope in the most unlikely places.
Deeply I Must Climb: Dedicated to Josephine, this work honors a survival story against the "back alleys of power" and the calculated malice of the past. It is a journey of reclaiming strength and light.
