We had the good fortune of connecting with Rachel (Ray-D) Dowl and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Rachel (Ray-D), what role has risk played in your life or career?
Risk Is The Bloodline Of My Career as well as My Life, In General. Each move that I’ve Made In Being An Entrepreneur / Freelance Model has been Prayer, Following A Lead, Taking A Chance & Following Through Till The End. I’ve Been So Blessed. The Best Is Yet To Come. #Amen

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My Art Is My Room For My Imagination to Flourish. I am Very Spontaneous & Use My Pain as My Fuel To Make Beauty. My Path Has Led Me To Some Awesome Results. Walking In New York Fashion Week & Austin Fashion Week in 2021 was Mind Blowing. Ray-D’s Road, If Easy, won’t leave Material To Use or Heart To Feel In The Footprints. I’ve Learned, Even when you’re Genuine & Transparent, some still won’t understand or like you, So Keep Going. Everyone Isn’t Meant For Your Blessings. Stay Focused. Gods Got “It” & You!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If I’m Entertaining For A Week, I’d Definitely Make Sure To Show A Good Time. Places would range from All Throughout Dallas / Fort Worth to even the cities all around #RoadTripStyle #TurnAroundTrip Depends On My Calendar & the person. I’m versatile. (Currently Booked Through October 2022! #TyLord ) My Most Fun Is At My Home Cooking, Music Blasting & Taking A Break From The “Demands” of the World. (Smiles) I’m Usually Invited To Some Pretty Cool Networking Events, Parties, Etc. So I always disclaimer outings with me, “Expect The Unexpected!” We Will Definitely Look Tha Part. #Wink

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My S/O Ranges To A Few.

– To My Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ. My Leader & Provider. #Amen

– My Son. For All He Does To Make Sure I’m My Best Self. #LoveYouDay

– To Anyone I’ve Worked With & Anyone I’ve Inspired. (Too Many To Mention) Just Know Looking Back At My Career & Life (Good & Bad), We’ve Made Magic Here In The Present. I Encourage You To Do The Same. Intimacy which is Into-Me-See. #Blessings
