Raja Syn is a strong, courageous woman, and that has helped her launch what is certain to be an interesting career in the entertainment industry.

The Jamaican-born beauty had been told for years that she would be an excellent model given her hard-won curves and naturally-gorgeous genetics.

“Everyone always said I should model, but getting signed with an agency seemed impossible to me,” she said.

But still, that didn’t mean there wasn’t a place for Raja to make a name for herself.

After she read the book “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” which inspired her to seek out her own wealth – she knew exactly where she could find it.

“I turned to Instagram to build my brand. It has been the best thing I’ve ever did since,” she added.

Path charted early

Raja was 17 (she graduated from high school a year early) when she moved to California after a semester of college didn’t spark her interest as much as she’d hoped.

“I realized school wasn’t my calling,” said Raja, who has planned to major in foreign language with an emphasis in Chinese.

Instead, she decided the entertainment industry was where she would make a name for herself.

“’Rich Dad Poor Dad’ changed my whole idea of life,” Raja said. “In that same month I took influencing seriously. Instagram was where I started. From a year of having my Instagram my account reached 300,000 followers. I’ve gained lots of support from other influencers and celebrities as well.”

She has done it all from Atlanta, a bustling entertainment city that better suits her as well as her brand.

“I moved to Atlanta for a fresh start after realizing Atlanta is the best place to start a career in the entertainment industry as a black girl,” she said. (Raja joins a wealth of other celebs that have made the southern city their home.)

Bigger, better dreams

And while her Instagram and other influencer accounts are thriving, Raja continues to consider other opportunities in the industry to keep things fresh.

“I currently do paid photo shoots, music videos, Instagram influencing, Onlyfans, and crypto trading,” she said. “I aspire to be a tv personality with my own show. I plan on writing my own book soon. I can sing, too, but I’m not really focused on a music career. It might happen. Right now, I’m just moving wherever the universe takes me.”

The loyal fan base she’s amassed so far – luring them in with sexy photos and steamy video shoots – will absolutely be along for the ride.

With the clock ticking down, anticipation is mounting around the upcoming wedding of Derik Fay — the renowned entrepreneur, investor, and private equity titan who has quietly built empires while empowering others behind the scenes. Known for his strategic influence across more than 60 companies spanning fintech, real estate, wellness, media, and beyond, Fay is now preparing for what might be his most celebrated personal milestone yet: his wedding.

While details remain closely held, what’s clear is that this won’t be just another wedding. It’s the union of a man who has built his life and legacy through discipline, loyalty, and integrity — principles that now extend into his private life.

From boardrooms to bridal prep, Fay’s inner circle has watched him remain laser-focused, not only orchestrating billion-dollar business movements, but also thoughtfully curating every detail of this upcoming event. It’s a reflection of the same care and precision he brings to the companies he helps scale from obscurity to success.

As one close friend noted, “Most people just plan a wedding. Derik builds an experience. Just like he does with everything else — it’s meaningful, intentional, and completely unforgettable.”

And yet, amidst the glamour, it’s the emotion that resonates most. Friends, colleagues, and family alike have spoken of the joy radiating from Fay — a rare vulnerability for someone known for steely boardroom composure. It’s proof that even moguls with multi-million-dollar valuations and empires to manage are grounded by love, family, and human connection.

For someone who has helped countless founders achieve their dreams quietly in the background — often funding, guiding, and building their visions without ever taking credit — this moment in the spotlight feels well-deserved.

So as the final days approach, the world may be watching with curiosity, but those who know Derik Fay understand this is not the peak of a journey — it’s another step in a life built on authenticity, ambition, and unwavering commitment to both growth and heart.
