Golden
Wassup y’all! Allow us to introduce our fam. We are GOLDEN!
In 2017, Golden was founded by Michael Nguyen, Nicholas Dineros, Jean Perez, and Armon Bakhtar, also known as the “Big Richards”. The “Big Richards” became close friends because they bonded during PCN 29: Unspoken Words. Our fam comes from mixed roots branching off of 300, Modern, Sexy, Venture, and Gangsta. Our fam symbol is a lion, and our colors are white & gold, primarily GOLD.
We are a medium-sized fam that continues to grow. We encourage everyone in our fam to be as involved as they can be so that we can continue to make unforgettable memories. We have a history of our fam members being active in Social Core, Friendship Games, PCN, and more.
In 2018, we were awarded Fam of the Year by KAAMP because of our fast-growing population, demonstrating the definition of Akbayan, “Embracing in friendship.” You can see us together during the workshops or any event hanging out and occasionally grabbing a bite to eat afterward or even just chilling together. You can find all kinds of people in our fam because we are very diverse. We have members who are musicians, dancers, photographers, gamers, ravers, foodies, and so much more!
Being Golden isn’t about being flawless - To be Golden means to try at all times, even when times get tough and you feel like giving up. Golden means to be perfect with every single imperfection that makes you perfect. Lastly, Golden means to be phenomenally you and true to yourself. To be Golden is to truly be yourself, and that is when you can truly glow. As a fam, we will embrace you as you are and create the most unforgettable memories together.
