Biografia

Once shared an apartment in Los Angeles with her friend Lindsay Lohan.

Performed on Broadway at age five.

Has been singing since age 4.

The first song by Missy Elliott to be played on the radio was sung by Raven.

Born on her mother's birthday, December 10th.

I find it funny that people now come up to me and say, 'Wow, you are absolutely gorgeous. I'm like, 'I was beautiful before I lost weight. Egotistically speaking, I thought I was amazing.'

Everybody takes breaks, and I decided to take mine. I wanted a chance to wake up at two in the afternoon and not be a subject of entertainment. I wanted to be a human being. At certain times and certain years, I felt like the Energizer bunny. That gets old very quickly.

It's difficult to not be able to just be yourself without criticism in any position, whether you're in high school, college, or this industry.

It's important for young people to know that they are made the way they are made and they're beautiful and that's how they're supposed to be.

I'm not perfect. This is how I was raised. If I wasn't in the industry, I'd be the same person.
