Had the opportunity to enjoy some great Gospel Music for Gospel Sunday at @blankusindy today. @carltonamosmusic was great as usual. It was nice seeing other local music industry artists too. The food was delicious and VERY filling. The atmosphere was amazing and service was superb. I’m looking forward to trying breakfast. I’m also excited to join the musicians on the stage one day. ♥️🙌🏽 https://www.instagram.com/p/CqRehQ7MTZx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Back when I called myself a designer of boots. I designed these back in 2004ish. I think I’m going to keep them around for awhile. I enjoy looking back and reminding myself that I can. Especially in those moments when things appear to be impossible. https://www.instagram.com/p/CosUGLxu8kY/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful…. But since there’s no place to go… let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! https://www.instagram.com/p/Cmkv22NsIcS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

After having to leave a Christmas Party early, I was blessed to be able to share the stage with this beautiful soul and performer! If you missed this concert, YOU MISSED A TREAT!!!!! Be there NEXT TIME! Thanks @bthompsonmusic for having me. We did an AMAZING with NO rehearsal! If someone has footage, please share. #HomeForTheHolidays #BThompsonMusic #SchawaynaRaie #ChristmasTime #TheFirstNoel #Christmas2023 #ChristmasMusic (at Madame Walker Theatre Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmQOm6UMdI1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Listen…. @hermusicofficial was AMAZING as Belle in @beautyandthebeast Live! I just love how she played into the innocence of the character and her vocal tone as it relates to the songs. It was just pure perfection! She has become one of my favorite vocalists along with the very FEW that I love. https://www.instagram.com/p/CmN5UewMIAj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

When thinking of what to wear, OF COURSE I decided to wear a little ole clothing line called @rebellioussoul1 created by Tiffany Jones along with some custom earrings from @inmysistasear created by Durga Muhammad. Thanks @allindianawish for having me and we’ll miss you @liveatphive but pray for great success in your new journey! @wishtv8 #iDontHaveTimeForHashtags Thanks Terrance Dennie for playing for me! And thanks Tonya Adams for the background footage and allowing me to share your story! ♥️♥️♥️ (at WISH-TV) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmNLi3ULyqz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My cousin made me this outfit from a photo that I sent. Hers was BETTER than the original Ralph Lauren photo. https://www.instagram.com/p/CmKOtMLucO7/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Over 10 years of Schawayna Raie & Friends! It’s been a blessing to give a platform for people to feel like they are stars because they are! I’ve treated EVERYONE that hit my stage as if they deserved to be there and emboldened them to be their BEST!!! I don’t have an ego and I want people to soar and many who have graced my stage have done JUST THAT!!! More pics to come. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl-pBszO5kq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tonight…. Thanks to my cousin @lovingthekinks for coming with me and being my personal photographer. Thanks to @sheeventindy for presenting me with my award. Thanks to @i.model.a for acknowledging me this way. Thanks to @nikkiblainecouture for just being a beautiful person inside and out! We’ve known each other before we knew who we’d become. She’s been the same beautiful spirit since I’ve known her. Tonight was magical and just as THE Nikki Blaine stated, “stay committed to your assignment and appreciate all that is being given”. People literally DO NOT have to acknowledge your work and when they do, be humble enough to thank them! https://www.instagram.com/p/ClxaP37M2Yd/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

And, I won! Thanks to EVERYONE that voted for me. It’s an honor and a privilege to serve the Indianapolis community. I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’ve been told that I can “blow up” musically if I left the city because Indy doesn’t appreciate my talent. I’ve contemplated it many times. What I know for certain is that I will continue to pour my heart into the things that I love and Indy will ALWAYS be home to me! Thanks @i.model.a for allowing me the night that I shall not ever forget! The award recipients were amazing and everyone understood the assignment! Being honored in this way is humbling. #iModelA2022 #IndyModels #IndyEvents #IndyAwards #SchawaynaRaie https://www.instagram.com/p/ClxOZ7nsrzT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
