ChaChaGirl has been volunteering at the animal shelter and has become very concerned about the welfare of our pets, who can't speak up or even know when we're doing bad stuff to them. So she's trying to bring awareness of ways we may not be paying enough attention to the needs of our furry companions. Take sleep, for example. If your pet is sensitive to noises and you live in the city, animals can become sleep deprived when frequently awakened by street noises. A comfortable dog bed can be key to a good night's sleep. Visitors will note that all 3 of her doggies each have their own private designer dog bed from GoodNightDog.com, makers of this very cool, simple, round dog bed that is incredibly practical and comfortable. You animal friends healthy sleep as well as healthy food. Animals can have adverse reactions to different types of food - allergies and food intolerance play a role. But the biggest problem can often be our food which we share with them. In the wild, cats would eat only meat, but I know cats that eat bread. Giving them too much food is another issue. Make sure you provide a diet recommended for your pet - ask your vet for help. ChaChaGirl is making life better for all animals by making us think about them.

Raven-Symone Christina Pearman was born on December 10, 1985 to Christopher and Lydia Pearman. For the fist five years of her life, she lived it out like every other child... well kind of. "Raven did everything early," says her mother Lydia, a former systems analyst for the NCR Corporation. "In fact, she tried to sing before she could talk." Raven had something special. She was spunky, out there, and had a spark for the hollywood business. So much, that their family practically packed up, and stopped their lives to fulfill their daughters dreams. |
 |
Raven started modeling at the age of two, and was immediately successful appearing in local print ads. Her agent in her Hometown of Atlanta, Georgia sent photos of her to the prestigious Ford Modeling Agency in New York City. The very next day, the agency called asking if she could come to New York. Taking a chance, the family moved to the Big Apple and Raven starred in a dozen commercials within the year--from Fisher Price and Jell-O to Cool Whip and Ritz Crackers. She therefore tried out for her first screen read in the feature film "Ghost Dad," starring Bill Cosby. Although she was too young for the role, her personality and ability for memorizing lines greatly impressed the casting directors, who brought her to Bill Cosby's attention. After meetings with the writers and producers of "The Cosby Show," as well as with Mr.Cosby, Raven's character premiered on the show during the sixth season until the end of the show in season eight in 1992. It was a sad goodbye for everyone on the show, but Raven was determined not to be just another "Child Star" fading away. She already had plans. |
 |
On September 22, 1992, Raven was given the part of Nicole on the top-rated series "Hangin' With Mr. Cooper." While wrapping up season one of the show Raven signed onto MCA Recods (The youngest artist ever to have signed with the label). During season two of Hangin' With Mr. Cooper, Raven was in the works on her first album, "Here's To New Dreams." a mix of R&B, pop and rap. Getting help with the album from the now famous Missy Elliot, she produced her first single, "That's What Little Girls Are Made Of." Unfortunately, her album didn't sell as much as her label had hoped for and she was dropped. Raven went back to work on the hit sitcom Hangin' With Mr. Cooper for Season three. While on hiatus from the show, Raven went on to perform on Broadway singing with the Boys Choir of Harlem as part of their 25th Anniversary celebration. |
 |
As if that wasn't enough, Raven still had a lot of time on her hands. She went back into the studio, and not just any studio this time, but her own record label titled "Rayblaize Records". Her second album neatly titled, "Undeniable," had none other than Stevie Wonder contribute a track and guest vocals. To help promote the project, she found herself opening for 'N Sync on tour and later headlining her own international tour. All this while shooting a mini series for ABC titled "Queen" and made her feature film debut in The Little Rascals. |
 |
With the results back from ABC, Hangin' With Mr. Cooper was coming back for a fourth season. No projects were currently on Raven's schedule, so she took on many tasks including the voice of Goldilocks in the tale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears for the HBO animated series "Happily Ever After." Raven was also a presenter at the People's Choice Awards, NAACP Image Awards, The International Emmys, Night of a Hundred Stars, Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Awards, and the Jim Thorpe Sports Awards. Sadly, her second album was not as successful as she had hoped, and Rayblaize Records wrapped.
While Raven was had at work for season five of Mr. Cooper, results came back that the show would not be returning for a sixth season. Now 12 years old, Raven was at a road block. With two canceled sitcoms, two failed albums, and no work ahead, the star was stunned. What was she to do? |
 |
In 1998, FOX Network came knocking on Raven's door with a movie script that stared comedian Eddie Murphy. She would play the daughter of Mr. Murphy's daughter Charisse Dolittle. The movie was a sucsess and just happened to be Raven's first bigfeature Film.
After the movie was made, Raven decided to take some time off for the first time in her career. She attended Atlanta's North Springs High School for her first year of high school and worked at being a normal kid. |
 |
While in school, she couldnt resist the hollywood spotlight, so she went back to work in 1999 playing Nebula Wade on the Disney Channel's hit movie Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century. Disney couldn't resist Raven and signed her on for a pilot episode. In 2001, Raven went back to the set playing Eddie Murphy's daughter in the 2001 feature film Dr. Dolittle 2. The movie was a hit, Raven won many young talent awards that same year. What made Raven truly unique that year is her status as an ambassador to children. Her efforts on behalf of her peers have won her awards and praise. "I believe in kid power," says Raven. "I think kids should be the best that they can be. If they have special talent, they should work toward being the best at it. I want people to know me as a good person who respects others and is always polite." |
 |
While 2001 may have been huge, nothing would be as big as year 2002 with a pilot episode she was filming with the Disney Channel titled "Absolutely Psychic," Later titled "That's So Raven" due to Raven's ability to make people laugh. The show premiered on Disney Channel in the USA on January 17, 2003. |
 |
While filming her Disney sitcom, Raven went into the studio to record some tracks for Disney's soon to be movie "The Cheetah Girls." The movie became Disney's highest rated movie. They knew Raven had something, and with the ratings through the roof on her disney show, it soon got higher ratings than "Lizzie McGuire," Disney's highest rated TV show at the time. |
 |
In 2004, Raven appeared in Disney's third sequel, "Zenon: Z3." While shooting her cameo appearance, Raven went back into the studio to work on some tracks for her hit TV show "That's So Raven." The sales were off the chart. It became Gold soon after. Raven also made a cameo appearance in The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement playing Asana, a princess from overseas. |
 |
While working on her second season of That's So Raven, she went into the studio to work on her third solo album with Hollywood Records titled "This is My Time." Raven went on a promotional tour including several concerts with Radio Disney, magazine covers, and talk shows including Regis & Kelly and TRL. Sadly the promotional tour didn't kick in until 3 months after the album dropped. The first week sales were disappointing because of the lack of promotion ahead of time. The album made it at the #56 spot on the Billboard 200 List. Without time to be upset, Raven went back on the set shooting a Lifetime Orginal Movie titled "For One Night." A moving drama inspired by a true story about a 12th grader who risks her social and academic standing to end her high school’s long tradition of racially segregated proms. |
 |
Shortly after filming, Raven went back to the set of the Disney show "That's So Raven," this time playing the role of producer. With now being in the fourth season, the show has been the only Disney TV series to surpass the 65 episode mark.
In December 2005, Raven co-hosted the New years Eve party on the Disney Channel. Raven's 2005 year has been the biggest by far, with her own clothing line, cosmetics line, and even her own doll. Raven is coming into her own. We can only wait to see what the next few years hold for her and as well as us, her fans. |
| In 2006 Raven-Symone started it on a BANG paste with the premiere of her new movie "For One Night" in February it got rave reviews and eventually was nominated for an NAACP award. She was finishing up her 2005-2006 "This Is MY Time" Promotional tour and wrapped her 100th Episode of "That's So Raven". Later that year, Raven started her promotional tour for the animated movie "Everyone's Hero" in which she voiced a character in. During that SAME year raven went to Barcelona to film her new Disney movie "The Cheetah Girls 2" In which she was co-producer in this time around. After several appearances without the Cheetah Girls due to the fact she was touring and promoting her other projects it was announced that raven will not take part in the 3rd installment. Raven had no time to be disappointed as she started her promotional tour for her 2nd Disney series album "That's So Raven 2" which she also wrote several of the songs on that album. In September of 2006 raven went to Canada where she released her new clothing line based on the Disney Series which was already making over 400 million in revenue. 2006 Was one of the biggest years for raven on a personal professional level but lacked in Media. However raven was ready for her long deserved break and took the last couple months off for that year. She also celebrated her 21st birthday at Public hot spot TAO. |
| 2007 started out with a bang, Raven-Symone graced the cover of the historical magazine "EBONY" In the March 2007 issue she was declared the "400 million dollar woman" even though her networth of that was only $44-50 million. During the same time our co webmaster Ryan met Raven-Symone for the first time where he was able to clear up rumors about her "at the time" official website Raven Live. Announced this year was her new movie "College Road Trip" co-staring Martin Lawrence. Another movie project was going to be "Adventures in Babysitting" a Remake of the original classic from 1987, however that film project fell threw and College Road Trip was set to start production in July 2007. Her new Untitled album was set to be released in 2007 but kept being pushed back due to schedule conflicts. In May 2007, 2 tracks were leaked to the internet from her upcoming album titled "Green" and "That Got It Girl" Both songs were later confirmed to not be on her upcoming album. (most likely due to the leak) Rumors also circulated this year about Raven being in Madagascar 2, it was confirmed by her management that she was in fact not taking any part of the film. The last episode Raven ever filmed for Disney aired this year in an episode of "Cory In The House" It finished out all 100 episodes of the Tv Show (That's So Raven).

More Background On Raven-Symone.org
Before the rise of Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok, celebrity fan sites were the lifeblood of pop culture communities online. Among the most devoted of these early digital spaces was Raven-Symone.org, a lively fan-driven hub dedicated to actress, singer, and producer Raven-Symoné Christina Pearman, known worldwide for her breakout roles in The Cosby Show, Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper, and the Disney Channel hit That’s So Raven.
Active primarily between 2007 and 2008, the website captured a turning point in both internet culture and the evolution of Raven-Symoné’s career. At a time when fans craved authentic insight into their favorite stars, Raven-Symone.org provided a reliable, community-driven source of verified news, exclusive interviews, rumor control, and historical documentation. It served as both an archive and a living fan community—one that bridged the gap between the traditional media world and the dawning era of interactive celebrity presence online.
Ownership and Structure
Raven-Symone.org was not an official website, but its administrators maintained close contact with Raven-Symoné’s management and publicists. Operated by a small group of dedicated fans known as the Raven Source staff, the site developed a reputation for professionalism rarely seen in fan circles. Unlike gossip-driven outlets, the Raven Source team made an explicit commitment to verify every story through legitimate channels.
While it wasn’t owned by Raven herself, her acknowledgment gave the project a quasi-official status. Raven mentioned the site by name in a personal message on her then-official platform RavenSymonePresents.com in 2007, expressing appreciation for her supporters and their dedication. This gesture was more than symbolic—it represented one of the earliest examples of a major Disney star actively engaging with an independent online fan community.
Mission and Goals
The primary goal of Raven-Symone.org was to provide accurate information and celebratory coverage of Raven’s multifaceted career. The administrators sought to counter misinformation and tabloid sensationalism with sourced, respectful reporting.
Key goals included:
-
Archiving Raven’s body of work in television, music, and film.
-
Providing fan access to behind-the-scenes insights and verified updates.
-
Debunking online rumors to protect the actress’s image.
-
Encouraging community participation, such as fan art, video uploads, and shared tributes.
This sense of ethical responsibility toward both the star and the audience distinguished Raven-Symone.org from most celebrity fan sites of the time. It became an example of early online reputation stewardship—years before social media managers and brand protection became industry norms.
Popularity and Cultural Context
During its height in 2007–2008, the website drew thousands of visitors each week. This period coincided with Raven’s high visibility in both film and television: That’s So Raven had just wrapped as Disney Channel’s most successful original sitcom, and College Road Trip, co-starring Martin Lawrence, was generating strong promotional buzz.
The fan site became a central meeting place for audiences who grew up watching Raven from her childhood appearances on The Cosby Show to her roles in Dr. Dolittle, The Cheetah Girls, and For One Night. Fans could discuss her performances, post creative tributes, and read first-hand accounts from those who met her at events.
At a time when mainstream media often ignored youth-focused performers or dismissed teen fandom as trivial, Raven-Symone.org offered young fans validation and a structured digital community. Its blog posts, comment boards, and rumor debunking sections provided an antidote to misinformation spreading across early MySpace and Yahoo forums.
Content and Features
The site offered a variety of regularly updated sections:
1. Raven’s Blog and Updates
In September 2007, Raven-Symoné personally addressed her fans through an on-site blog entry that was cross-posted from her official web portal. Her tone was warm, humorous, and grounded. She shared behind-the-scenes details about filming College Road Trip and expressed excitement about interacting with fans online.
That direct communication gave the site unprecedented authenticity. In an era before Twitter, this kind of casual celebrity-to-fan interaction was rare and highly valued.
2. Rumor Control
A signature section of the site, “RUMORS,” meticulously fact-checked popular stories circulating online. Topics ranged from false claims about Raven’s personal relationships to speculation about album releases and unconfirmed film appearances. Each rumor was addressed with either confirmation or official denial.
For example, the staff clarified that Raven had never been married, had no children, and was not reprising her role in The Cheetah Girls 3. These concise, sourced rebuttals reflected the team’s dedication to accuracy—building fan trust and setting a precedent for how online fandoms could protect a star’s reputation.
3. Biography Archive
One of the site’s standout features was an extensive biography, chronicling Raven-Symoné’s journey from her early modeling career in Atlanta to her years at the Disney Channel. The bio was uniquely detailed, blending fan enthusiasm with professional-level documentation. It included key milestones:
-
Signing with Ford Models at age two.
-
Joining The Cosby Show as Olivia Kendall.
-
Launching her music career with MCA Records and later Hollywood Records.
-
Founding her own label, Rayblaize Records.
-
Starring in That’s So Raven, Disney’s first live-action series to surpass the 65-episode limit.
-
Becoming an executive producer, fashion entrepreneur, and role model for young women of color.
This long-form biography made the site as informative as it was celebratory, serving as an early example of a fan wiki before such platforms became standard.
Historical Significance
Raven-Symone.org represented a unique intersection of celebrity culture, digital fandom, and community media ethics. Emerging during a transitional moment when traditional press was losing ground to the internet, the site bridged fan passion with journalistic care.
Its structure foreshadowed later developments in online fandom, such as:
-
Verified fan communication channels.
-
The blending of official and unofficial content.
-
Early forms of crowd moderation and source verification.
Moreover, the site’s tone reflected a respectful fandom culture, long before “stan” communities became dominant. The administrators’ refusal to post gossip or intrusive speculation helped foster a safe, inclusive atmosphere.
Audience and Community Impact
The audience of Raven-Symone.org consisted mainly of teens and young adults, particularly those who had grown up watching That’s So Raven. Many users were inspired by Raven’s confident personality, advocacy for body positivity, and leadership as one of the few young Black women in mainstream Hollywood children’s television.
Through fan stories, message boards, and blog comments, visitors expressed gratitude for Raven’s influence on their self-esteem and creativity. The community extended beyond entertainment—discussions often touched on race representation, women’s empowerment, and creative ambition.
Some contributors, such as a volunteer named ChaChaGirl, even used their platform to promote social causes. Her post about animal welfare and pet care, for instance, showed how the fan site evolved beyond celebrity worship into a space for community-minded dialogue.
Press and Media Recognition
While Raven-Symone.org itself was not heavily publicized in mainstream media, the spirit of the fan movement it represented paralleled the growing recognition of Raven-Symoné as a media powerhouse. Around the same period, she was featured on the cover of Ebony magazine (March 2007 issue) and widely discussed for her entrepreneurial ventures, from her fashion and cosmetics lines to her Disney merchandise empire, which had exceeded hundreds of millions in retail sales.
The fan site mirrored this momentum, reflecting the rising influence of both Raven and her supporters. It stood as an informal digital chronicle of her transition from Disney star to adult entertainer and producer.
Achievements and Legacy
By 2008, Raven-Symone.org had become one of the most trusted fan resources for any Disney-affiliated performer. It preserved:
-
Exclusive timelines of Raven’s appearances and projects.
-
Historical fan documentation, now valuable as an archive of early-2000s pop culture.
-
Fan-generated media, from artwork to news recaps.
Its value extended beyond fandom. Today, historians of early digital media often cite such websites as vital records of pre-social-network fan engagement. Without them, the connective tissue between traditional celebrity PR and the participatory web would be largely undocumented.
Even after the site became inactive, snapshots from its pages were preserved in online archives, serving as a nostalgic time capsule of 2000s-era internet design, complete with fan banners, music players, and forum signatures. These remnants remain a testament to the creativity of its community.
Broader Cultural and Social Significance
Beyond being a fan site, Raven-Symone.org symbolized a broader cultural moment. Raven-Symoné herself represented a generation of multitalented, media-savvy young women who balanced entertainment careers with messages of independence and empowerment.
The site echoed those values: professionalism, authenticity, and inclusion. It championed her achievements not merely as celebrity milestones but as proof that representation mattered in mainstream entertainment. For many young fans of color, particularly girls, seeing Raven succeed—and being celebrated in such an organized, uplifting online community—was deeply validating.
Furthermore, the site demonstrated how fan participation could evolve into collaborative cultural storytelling. By blending verified information, personal reflections, and interactive media, Raven-Symone.org anticipated the dynamics of modern fandom platforms like Tumblr, Reddit, and X (formerly Twitter), years before they emerged.
Raven-Symone.org remains a defining artifact of early internet fandom. More than a fan site, it was an early model for how online communities could coexist with official celebrity branding in a constructive, ethical way.
Through its accurate reporting, direct connection to Raven’s management, and authentic engagement with fans, it established trust during an era often dominated by sensationalism and rumor. The site documented not just the career of a beloved entertainer but the collective enthusiasm of a generation that grew up alongside her.
Though inactive today, its influence endures through archived pages, fan memories, and the digital legacy of the young people it inspired. In the history of online celebrity culture, Raven-Symone.org stands as a pioneering example of how admiration, authenticity, and accountability can converge to build a positive, lasting online community.
