All Grown Up!

Raven Symone Pearman has grown up right before our eyes. The sweet and sassy “Olivia,” who played on The Cosby Show is now a beautiful actress, singer, songwriter and Fly Female Entrepreneur!

Making the Forbes list of richest under 25-years-old, Raven proves that she is both financially and business savvy. Between toys, dolls, video games, bed sheets, lunch boxes and other merchandise, coupled with revenues from That’s So Raven, The Cheetah Girls franchise, CD sales and other ancillary products, Raven has turned into a veritable ATM machine for Disney and related companies. Newsweek magazine estimated that the Raven brand accounted for over $400 million in overall revenue by the end of 2009.

Raven-Symone has received numerous awards including several NAACP Awards,  Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, a few Parent’s Choice Awards, and an Emmy nomination. She also produced the fourth season of That’s So Raven, and co-executive-produced the movie Cheetah Girls 2.

What’s even more impressive about Miss Symone is that you won’t see this young role model splattered in the tabloids like some of her counterparts. Raven states “I try to  work on film and television projects that can change people. I like to do things that will make people think.”

As an excellent example for young women to look up to, Raven proves that you can be both grounded and successful.

 We look forward to seeing this businesswoman continue to blossom. The sky is not her limit!

Miracles & Blessings,
