Raziyah Faraha

Entrepreneur. Innovative Executor. Inspirational Writer. Visionary. Raziyah was born and reared in Newark, New Jersey. Her passion for life, living and loving, which was evident by the age of 10, compelled her to save her allowance in order to adopt a child from South Africa. This act of compassion albeit re-awakened by a “Save the Children” commercial, was the very beginning of Raziyah’s road to leaving the world better than how she discovered it. Subsequently, and by the age of 12, Raziyah grew active in multiple community organizations.

The vision lead to her first retreat and the retreat gave birth to a woman’s group entitled, “The Time for Healing.” To that end, Raziyah continued her travels and worked with a multicultural group for over 9 years. Along the way, Ms. Hogans acquired a Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Arts with a focus on literature and philosophy.
