Riah is the host of the Grace Raised Podcast and visionary for the Grace Raised Ministry. She is a poet and aspiring author. She spends her free time raising ducks, writing poetry, and caring for her community alongside her husband of 13 years, and four children. 

Though she has spent the last 15 years studying scripture and taking classes in biblical history, it was not in academia she came to know the heart of Christ. She discovered her living relationship with Him not in the books and religious studies but through great loss, hardship, and heartbreak.

"I would rather have nothing and have Jesus; for even the greatest joy this world holds is empty compared to Christ. In Him, there is fullness of joy and glory beyond all imagination."
