RIDING LEGACY FILMS
“After watching the documentary, I came back with a sense of pride. I made it a mission to go to the Okmulgee rodeo and see the legacies of the community carrying on their family names in the spirit that is the black cowboy.”
DIRECTED BY: KIAN TAYLOR & JAY RIDLEY
PRODUCED BY: NICOLE JOCLEEN
Riding legacy is a documentary about the Oklahoma black cowboy community that has existed since the early 1850s. Our film team (Jay Rid, Nicole Jocleen, and Kian Taylor) began documenting the rodeo season in 2022 from April to September. Our documentary highlights the origin of black cowboys/cowgirls, the black rodeo community, and the future of Oklahoma black cowboys/cowgirls that ride professionally and locally.Meet the film crew
