The Boss Girl has always lived her passion for working smart, working hard, and having fun in the process.

Left Brain Science and Precision:

Raye grew up in some of the poorest sections of Los Angeles. Too young to comprehend the historical significance of the civil rights movement, Raye did grasp the urgency of people needing to be heard and to tell their stories. Labeled early in life as a “slow starter” in the Los Angeles Unified School District, she later learned how to excel past the labels, stereotypes, and false stories about her capabilities. Once accepted into the system that left her behind, Raye left the system behind, never graduated from high school and moved forward in life.

Charting her own path, Raye accepted an invitation to the elite University of Southern California Resident Honors Program, she became one of only twenty or fewer students worldwide offered the prestigious recognition each year. After graduating with honors from college, she pushed further and earned her MBA from the USC Marshall School of Business.

In her career, Raye soon earned the moniker ‘Boss Girl’ early in her marketing and advertising career working on the Trix and Lucky Charms cereals in the Big G Division of General Mills, Inc. Marketing consumer goods, crafting new product ideas and advertising campaigns to connect with consumers created a highly competitive work environment. Every successful new product launch and advertising campaign had to deliver a perfectly timed great idea that evolves into a brand story to ultimately capture the consumer's attention, curiosity, and emotional embrace. She also worked in marketing health and beauty products with global iconic brands such as the Gillette Company and Colgate Palmolive. In all cases, Raye worked to earn the trust of millions of people by developing compelling new product ideas, and engaging marketing and advertising communications to help tell those stories.

Later, Raye expanded her skills in the art and science of communications, persuasion, and helping people tell their stories by attending Harvard Law School. By way of becoming a boss civil rights litigator, intellectual property and entertainment lawyer, and a deal maker running her full-service law firm, she learned a lot about telling authentic stories that encompass justice and fairness. Her job required no less than persuading opponents, judges, and juries hear from and about her clients and to do the right thing.
