She began her radio career in 2008 interning with Latino 96.3 in Los Angeles. By that fall, she'd become a host for KKUU - U92.7fm in Palm Springs, California.

In the fall of 2015, she launched her blog Letty Set Go and it's accompanying podcast.

She has held a long working relationship with J Cole doing interviews. It was him that convinced her to speak out about her migration from using her stage name, Rikki, to her birth name, Letty, professionally.
