Prior to joining the KUOW board of directors, Raina was President of the Loren Miller Bar Association (Washington State’s black bar association) 2019–20, and served in the board leadership of LMBA for seven years.

Rogers College of Law in 2012. Prior to attending law school, Raina had a career as a journalist at the Arizona Daily Star and The Seattle Times — and she will always be a proud news junkie. She lives in Seattle’s Magnolia neighborhood with her family.
