ABOUT

Raïssa was born in Congo and moved to the United States at five, spending a decade there before returning to Congo for a year at 15. She has called Montreal home for the past six years.

Her parents’ sacrifices have shaped her drive, pushing her to pursue both her passion for fashion and her ambition to become a lawyer. While modeling has allowed her to embrace her individuality, she is equally committed to advocating for justice, with a particular focus on combating child trafficking and pedophilia.

What once made her stand out as a target of bullying has become her strength in the fashion world. Now, she hopes to channel that same resilience into her legal career, using her voice to create meaningful change.

With creativity, ambition, and purpose guiding her path, Raïssa is determined to leave a lasting impact—both on the runway and in the courtroom.
