She graduated from The New School with a degree in journalism, international politics, and entrepreneurship. Her research focus was on human trafficking in global supply chains, as she advocated for more ethical and transparent practices. 

The name “Rai Wanders” was inspired by Raiha’s travels around the world, across the US, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. She’s a firm believer in the idea that “not all who wander are lost,” and loves to inspire others to follow their own call to wander.
