LISA RAYE—“ALL I’s ON HER”
The one-woman promoting machine that is Lisa Raye is hell bent on making it big. On her terms.

Lisa Raye is a true hustler fo’ real. The curvy, grown-up actress has several completed and soon-to-be-released films under her belt (including the prison drama Civil Brand and the Western-flavored Guns and Roses), a role on Will and Jada’s new UPN show, All of Us, travels the world promoting Hennessey, makes very successful swimsuit calendars and has a spot in the Bravo reality series about actors in L.A., The It Factor. Only in America could all this be parlayed from a role as a stripper (she broke through in Ice Cube’s The Player’s Club in 1998).

Known for keeping it truly gangsta, it’s obvious LisaRaye wears the pants in her relationships. Perhaps she learned the game from her late father, who flipped an 8th grade education into serious paper as a street-savvy entrepreneur. Being a daddy’s girl gave LisaRaye an old-school mentality: she’ll cook for you and break you off proper, but, fellas, get your credit card balances to zero, because she’s definitely gonna put it to work!
