Every time her assistants say Miss. Raven... I smile. lol

[@MyTaylordCloset]

I know right !

[@ashleyrice1427]

I love it too!! Definitely shows respect as an employee/employer relationship ☺️

[@KytiaLamour]

I don’t know what’s going on in Raven’s personal life lately, but I’ve never seen her this free, peaceful, joyous, silly and lighthearted in all my years of watching her. Maybe it’s just being more transparent on camera and she’s always been this way, but I love it either way. 🙏🏽

[@chelseagriffin3148]

I noticed that too. I love that for her! 🥰

[@Zuluisms]

I'm willing to bet just about anything that a Raven Elyse event space or creator space of some is in the not-so-distant future 😍

[@AlexisBelon]

And I’m willing to bed I’d be the first in line lol.

[@teawbbuu]

I love this version of you.. so smiley, laughing , good spirits. Not too perfect, accepting mistakes and laughing about it. I loveeeeee ray in her 30’s she’s so much fun. Feels more personal like a home girl vs a perfect guru

[@jamelliaghouse]

Raven said ya’ll did all this “behind the scenes” begging. HERE, DANG! 😂

[@1Pookie580]

The new sitcom intro😂 vibe from the 80's I needed that laugh. You're view point of fun&life is so awesome ❤

[@tianaveevlogs]

as a small creator, joining a community has already changed my life in so many ways. it was weird at first bc we were all strangers but you can get a good idea of people's character over time. meeting up ends up feeling so natural when you finally do! planning in person events is the icing on the cake. looove this event idea Raven!

[@MissTyraB]

This intro was EVERYTHING 🤩

[@NaomiSei]

This is the best video you made, Raven! The most creative and fun mother❤

[@anqwonrandle]

every time i watch these videos it reassures me how similar virgos really are. even from not touching the meat patties, to the organization, diy’s, and so much more. you’ve given me a place to feel like myself and that i cannot thank you enough for. been following since you made wig and makeup videos in your first apartment now you’re here 🥺 got so much love for you and all you do! thank you

[@lisarobbinson8835]

[@rayneebranch9690]

I just love watching the three of you work so well together. Your parties are my absolute fav!! I can't wait to see the content creator party. Great job on the garden Raven!!! I tried once here in Washington state and let's just say I did not have an abundance of fresh veggies......LOL Happy Summer Ziya!!!

[@helenespetalen7699]

[@lauryntaylor]

I love this style of vlog!!!!!!!! Love seeing how much your business has grown while also making your ideas come to life. Truly so inspiring as a small creator ✨

[@iamlaricia]

I enjoyed the video as always. You got some cool things in the PR package. I think it’s also cool that you can grow your own veggies from your garden. It’s a hot day here too I love guacamole.

[@loserplanet]

This intro is the cutest thing ever!

[@1Sweeetcharity]

[@thejasminefamily07]

I’m obsessed with Rays week! I don’t care if your reading a news paper ima watch lol ❤ Your very inspiring as a single mom.

[@coralpetals]

Long time subscriber here. Have been watching since Ziya was the cutest baby. I adore this family and am so proud of Raven for all she has accomplished and for being willing to get out of her comfort zone and try new things like her iconic DIYs and even gardening - Congratulations on your first harvest! Her continued generosity is also to be admired as it’s a bit rare to see established influencers taking time to mentor those who are less experienced. Raven has also grown to be an amazing boss to work for - no doubt. At the same time, here is one small area offered for consideration. Given her skills and talents, and especially since she’s now promoted to producer and is no longer an assistant, I feel Zoe’s time is better spent on more high value tasks than washing makeup brushes and that this task is better fitted for a house cleaner. Alternatively, there are plenty of makeup brush cleaners (both automated and manual) on Amazon that could be used to expedite the task. They may not work perfectly depending on how dirty the brushes are but they could at least save some time. But if Zoe likes washing the brushes (some people find cleaning tasks like this to be therapeutic/calming) please ignore this portion of the comment. I wish you and your team continued success!!! Also, a tip for your new makeup bag that smells of chemicals/fish, take a little bowl and fill it with 1/2 cup of baking soda, set it inside the bag and close the bag up and leave it in there for a couple of days. Or, if you already have those baking soda packs used to keep the fridge odor-free, just open one of those and set it on there for a few days. Hope it helps!

[@kimberlyskloset_8909]

The intro, the assistant collaboration, the bts of how RETV comes alive each week, chef kiss 🤌🏾😚 and I’m gone watch every week without hesitation 🫶🏾

Hear me out, I work with a lot of venders. The big displays you see around stores from Pepsi or beer brands. YOU CAN BUY THOSE! Most stores will sell the displays to the customers when they get taken down and there is a lot of summer ones up right now.
