KAREN & BERT RICHARDS
Self-described “buppies” from Edmonton, she’s a social worker and he’s a delivery driver whose alter-ego is Dirt Gritie – a hip-hop/spoken-word artist, and part of the collective Politic Live.
“The hip-hop scene in Edmonton is pretty robust and broad and covers a lot of demographics and age groups,” Bert says.
Adds Karen: “It’s very underground and very authentic. It’s not all… ‘Ooh, Drake and all these cool people who are famous.’
They met when, “she jumped on me at Klondike Days,” Bert says.
“I thought I knew him. From behind, I thought he was someone else,” she says with a laugh.
They have a four-year-old and a teenager from Bert’s previous relationship. “We want to be role models for our kids by going out and getting physical,” Karen says. “Watch us on TV, kids, and you’ll see us running around and, hopefully, winning.”
