Well, Back to Acting.

It’s been so many seasons where I’ve put down many things I’ve always done. Making some of my art forms familiar strangers. This season, I’m ok with doing it all.
Putting my fun, expression first. Serving in another way. I’m so excited for these next few projects. From acting to producing. Back to more public speaking. Now that we have planted roots in Atlanta. It’s playground time. 🖤 taken in Ponce City Market by @larayia

I need a little design help. I’m turning this commission of Nina Simone I did, into a ring. I’ve designed two different versions. Which do you prefer? I love them both so I can’t decide. Also comment why you like the ring you like. taken in LaRayia's Bodega by @larayia

I’ve been unapologetically black…. I’ve been singing to the mountain tops how vital our eco systems are. While dismantling all the mental poison we have been fed within our communities,

Don’t spend your money where you will not be hired. Simple as it gets. If you have a business, you want to share ….. comment below. We must, build with one another. My shop, designs, love and words….always reflect how I feel about US…. Let’s keep going, higher together…. If they don’t think they need us, show them what it feels like to be without us. Stop telling them. Show em. taken in LaRayia's Bodega by @larayia

[IN NEWSTANDS TOMORROW] LaRayia Gaston describes Atlanta as a city full of fairies.

“I just thought it was magical,” she said. “It was literally a city full of fairies.”

That sense of wonder guided the Brooklyn-born entrepreneur to plant roots in a city she had never visited before she was compelled to book a flight during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The result was LaRayia’s Bodega, a Black-owned, plant-based grab-and-go eatery tucked into a corner of Ponce City Market’s Central Food Hall, and, approaching five years in operation, one of Atlanta’s most quietly beloved hidden gems.
