Today, Ray is answering the call to give back. Through the HomelessByChoice Tour, Ray is traveling across the country to inspire and empower 25,000 students facing the same struggles he once endured.

Ray’s Mission

Turning Pain Into Purpose

At just two years old, Ray experienced homelessness, cared for by his teenage brother as they fled domestic violence. His life was shaped by instability, isolation, and academic challenges. But through the support of educators and mentors, Ray found his way to a brighter future.

Now, Ray’s heartfelt presentations inspire hope, tackle adversity, and encourage empathy and resilience. His tour demonstrates to young people that no matter their circumstances, they have the power to dream, succeed, and thrive.
