Flikshop founder, Marcus Bullock, was only 15 years old when he was sentenced to 8 years in adult maximum security prison for carjacking. After two years behind the bars, he began to spiral into depression and hopelessness. That’s when his mom made a promise that would change everything.

”Marcus, I’m going to write you a letter or send you a picture every day for the remaining 6 years of your sentence”

These letters didn’t just fill a void, they gave him hope.

“Those letters saved my life,” Marcus says. “I was able to see the world through my mother's lens and gave me a clear vision to what my life would look like after prison.”

This promise became the heartbeat of Flikshop.


Today, Flikshop is committed to keeping every incarcerated person connected to their loved ones and community resources, just like Marcus’ mom did for him. This is how we can end recidivism - by making each other feel seen and supported!
