Bri Ray just shines. Music, marketing, media — every facet of her career is about using her voice. On the music side, the former American Idol contestant performs all over the country, records music, studies Music Marketing virtually through NYU Tisch School of the Arts, and in 2015 was honored as the first-ever Presidential Scholar of the Arts in the singer-songwriter discipline. On the marketing front, Ray is a strategic communications specialist at the fast-growing RevRoad. And her most recent venture — Project Black Girl — is timely, powerful, and poignant as a platform that provides education, self–care, and safe spaces for black girls in the west.
