Raquel M.
Hometown: College Station, Texas
"I am a 41-year-old single mother of one beautiful 17-year-old young man. I co-founded and run a nonprofit for single moms and married moms who are operating as single parents. I also have a concierge service that I do when not running the nonprofit."
What is your favorite OWN show?
I love "Super Soul Sunday," Oprah's Next Chapter and Iyanla: Fix My Life.
What is one thing you can't live without?
My Bible. It gives direction, focus, peace and a kick in the pants when I need it.
What is your biggest fear?
I've never been a fan of heights and not being in control. But...I'm learning to let my faith override my fear.
What are you particularly bad at that your friends tease you about?
Hmm...hiding my emotions. I do not have a poker face.
What are your three favorite things?
Coffee, scented lotion and music.
What are you obsessed with?
I am obsessed with helping others as much as I can and growing our nonprofit. I have to force myself to turn it off sometimes. Lately, I've also become more obsessed with making the most out of this life I've been given; I was shy and insecure for far too long.
Who is your hero?
Jesus is my hero. Nothing amazes me or inspires me more.
