Raven Symone fans! I’ve grown with you guys for two years and me being a fan since 2004. I appreciate so many of you guys, because your all individuals and share different personalities. Raven Unlimited has done so much with updating, but I think I’m done with the site and this time it’s serious. Raven Source is a well known site and could become Raven’s “Official” due to the lack of care at Raven Live. I really want to keep the website running and keep you informed of anything that is exclusive. I feel that keeping a website up is hard work and I mean dedication is one thing, but keeping everyone informed is another. I think I’m going to become a Co-Administrator or do something else that deals with Raven, but doesn’t have to be so direct. Raven Unlimited is going to give the best surprise that any fan will never forget, but you have to stay tune for that.

To everyone that visited the site thanks for the support I really do appreciate it. Without you there would be no Raven Unlimited and I do it for you guys. So everyone stay well and keep it real and I recently just received my phone after months of waiting. I don’t think I’m going to post my number like last time. People started to abuse that privilege by calling me for non-reasons.

Also, I will be in a production of High School Musical not the movie or the second one, it’s on Broadway. I’ve auditioned for the second one, but I rather not be in it anymore. Unless you guys want something like autographs and such other than that I’m not going to travel to set just to do what? Nothing, right?

Raven attends 16th Anuual Heritage Parade...

Sat, 27 Jan 2007 07:54:04 GMT

Raven will be attending 16th Annual Heritage & Festival Parade. I attended this last year. Others to attend are Kyle & Christopher Massey (Cory in the House & Zoey 101) & Shondrella Avery (Cuts). Details below;

Date: Saturday, February 24, 2007

Time: 10am until 4pm

Parade Starting Location: The corner of Logan & Euclid Ave. See map below for parade route.

Festival: At Market Creek Plaza, near the corner of Market St. & Euclid Ave.

So there’s the information, regarding last time it was posted up late and I begged my mom to take me! Guess what she did and I really wanted my best friend to go so she can finally see Raven and guess what she couldn’t go ruined my whole day! Anyone should try to make it…all cultures, different backgrounds, etc. It’s a good experience and if you’ve never been there its ok scenery. Since I need hours I might think about volunteering in the “VIP” area! Also, Raven signed autographs for a long time that day and left quietly with a security person saying “I didn’t know she had a sister” of course you didn’t, because she doesn’t.

Is there anything that you need me to pass on to Raven since 2006? Now it’s 2007 so I know you want to know what’s going on with her since “that’s so raven” has ended as well as her tour.

So I hope to see you guys there…

Hello Fans. How is everyone? I haven’t updated that much, because I’ve been doing my own thing. I’ve working on a lot of things that are dealing with Ms. Raven. The fans matter the most to me and giving them the opportunity to have what I’ve already experienced. Anyways, while I was searching for management I came across an interview that was done by a young girl and her mother. I’ll post that as well. Also, everyone loves Youtube! Found something interesting of Raven at a young age doing a Cool Whip Commercial. Click this link to watch it. Cool Whip. I recently spoke to Adrienne Bailon (Cheetah Girls/3LW) that was a cool experience. Also, I’ll be adding audio so you can listen and some download opportunities as well.

Right now I just want everyone to stay tune, because you never know what might happen next. Everything I do is for the fans, although I’m one myself, I rather give everyone else an opportunity. I’m getting my phone soon, I probably said it a million times, but this week might be it! Finally I can have direct connections to people.

Raven-Symone is the star of That’s So Raven and The Cheetah Girls, and has appeared in several other films and TV shows. Taryn took her niece Monica (a huge Raven fan) to an interview session. The following is her report of the experience.

I had an opportunity to interview Raven-Symone recently. I responded right away since Raven-Symone is my 10-year-old niece, Monica’s, favorite celebrity. I notified my niece and her mom, my sister Melissa, as quickly as I could, and I worked out the arrangements. Everything was set for my niece to come with me to the interview.

The next day, my niece arrived, ready to go. We had about and hour and a half before we had to be at the interview location, which was about a 20-minute drive from my house. My niece could not be contained however, and so we left soon after her arrival. It’s a good thing we did. Sadly, I have a terrible sense of direction.

We were to meet in the lobby of The Compuware Building, next to The Hard Rock Café, at 630 pm. We arrived in Downtown Detroit just about 6 pm. By the time I figured out where we needed to be (despite having been there several times before) and then finding parking and walking the three blocks over to the location from where we parked, it was 629 pm. But we didn’t need to rush. It turned out to be another 2 hours before we were able to see Raven-Symone.

Monica and I waited in the lobby with several other excited young girls and their parents and/or guardians. There were other press there, including one guy from Radio Disney, and several other people who were just fans. Finally, we were escorted to where Raven-Symone was going to be. She still hadn’t arrived but we were told she was close. We went up to the 8th floor and waited with other members of the press for her arrival.

About 10 minutes later, the elevator doors opened, and who should exit but the one and only Raven-Symone. She walked past and politely greeted everyone with a wave and a big smile. One girl was in tears. My niece could only repeat, “That was so cool.” Aren’t kids cute?

A bit more time passed. All the other press were able to get their interviews. Finally, it was our turn. Monica had wanted to do the interview and I helped her prepare some questions. But when she was face to face with Raven-Symone, she became shy and wanted me to do the interview. I began to ask questions. Then Monica relaxed and began interacting with Raven-Symone. Here is our Q & A.

Q: When did you begin working?

A: I started in commercials and modeling at 16 months. My first acting job was at 3 years of age on The Cosby Show.

Q: You are here to promote Cheetah Girls 2. You previously did Cheetah Girls 1. Where were these films shot and were they on location, in a studio or a mix of both?

A: Cheetah Girls 1 was shot in Toronto (Canada) and Cheetah Girls 2 in Barcelona, Spain. Both were shot on location.

Q: What do you prefer: TV, movies or music?

A: I don’t have a preference. Each allows me to express a truth, either about others or myself.

Q: What are you working on currently?

A: I have several projects, but in the forefront now is an animated feature titled Everyone’s Hero for which I’m doing a voice.

Q: Why weren’t you on The Disney Channel Games? Did you have a choice?

A: (Raven-Symone summons her manager over and asks why she wasn’t asked to participate. It turns out she was filming Cheetah Girls 2 at the time. Her manager assures my niece that Raven-Symone will be in the next Games if she is able. Monica just wanted to be sure it wasn’t because she didn’t want to be in them and she tells Raven-Symone so. Raven-Symone assures her that was definitely not the case).

We concluded the interview with an autograph and a picture. Raven-Symone is going to be returning with the Cheetah Girls to the Detroit area at The Michigan State Fair on September 3, 2006. Monica says she’ll see her then. Raven-Symone says she’ll probably be wearing the same clothes since her luggage was lost (That explained the delay.)

We departed for the premiere of Cheetah Girls 2 at Campus Martius. Unfortunately, there was nowhere for us to sit. Apparently, The Cheetah Girls are extremely popular. I had no idea. The Cheetah Girls seem to be good role models for young girls. They aren’t scantily clad or trying to emulate anorexia. They seem to be able to laugh at themselves and promote the value of friendship. I will see if my assumptions are correct when I watch the premiere of Cheetah Girls 2 on The Disney Channel, Friday, August 25, 2006 at 8pm EST.

We didn’t stay for the movie, since we had no way to see the film clearly due to the lack of seating. Monica was the one who suggested we leave. I was really impressed with how mature she was about not getting to see the movie. There was no screaming or crying or any type of hissy fit. She merely said she could see it on TV in a few weeks and she’d rather go. Besides, she had a picture and an autograph and she was sure she would win the contest at school for the best summer vacation story. I hope she does win. I’m hoping for an award myself: Aunt of the Year. Her winning the contest might guarantee my success.

See the premiere of Cheetah Girls 2 on The Disney Channel, Friday, August 25, 2006 at 8pm EST, and catch the girls live at The Michigan State Fair on September 3, 2006.

Sorry this update is just to let you know that...my internet isn't working properly at all. Sometimes I can get on and other times maybe not. Check out another site. www.xanga.com/unofficiallythecheetahgirls I've been working on the site so let me know what you think. I'm trying to keep up with information on Raven, but it's really hard at the moment. I'm turning 18 this Friday so...by then I will have my cell phone hopefully.

We've Returned...

Sat, 18 Nov 2006 02:45:34 GMT

Raven- Unlimited has returned! With a whole new layout and news! I had so much time off trying to decided what I should do about the site. I’m pretty sure I’ve lost some fans and Raven Source is now open so I’m happy for them as well. I’m ready to get back to what I LOVE, but later gave up on. I told or actually promised that I would always stay with this site and bring exclusive information or pictures of Ms. Symone. As for right now I have to gather all my thoughts and information to bring you a big update! Leave feedback of the site & what you want to see!

Here are some images of raven eating at a restaurant alone. Raven really does like to have some time to herself. Although comments I’ve read people have said that it’s sad to see Raven alone or she is a loaner, but Raven is an individual if I was her I would want some peace as well.. .

& Tribute...

Mon, 11 Sep 2006 21:31:37 GMT

Hey, I’m just trying out this new font that was installed in my computer. Lets see the “tribute” has some revised things added to it. Since rarely anyone is participating its making things really sad, like no one cares. Everyone is all I want to meet her and I wish I could write to her and here’s like your opportunity.

I would like to have another co-owner, actually would like more people to help me with the site. Or maybe I should really finally quite this site. Why? Well, I’ve found out that if I’m not interested in what I’m doing anymore, maybe I should stop. I did this all for the fans anyways. I’m like the little Raven caring on her behalf. So…there…I'll be adding videos soon...

Hey…wow this is a real bummer. Raven Live has been hacked! Unsure who it was, but assume it had to be someone that wasn’t a fan or dis-liked Raven! To me that is really unnecessary to go and mess it up. Maybe I’m wrong, but I think that once Raven Live was once hacked along time ago. I just wanted to inform everyone. I guess you could say a few things have occurred, but once again I am lazy to update, but I will. The “tribute book” is going well, everyone is now sending in there creations, letters, and such. Now that I’ve changed the sending format my e-mail. It’s going to be on me to print it out. I have everyone’s back don’t worry about it! I know that Raven will be excited to see her fans making tribute to her! I am going to the concert on October 10^th, so if anyone is attending that look out for me!

The site is going to change soon, probably at the end of the month. For October, it’s really hard changing colors and making everything look perfect. I might take a lot of things out and make it like a cheap site. With less graphics.
