This book takes you on a beautiful and empowering journey from the South Side of Chicago to the bright lights of broadway, all while holding God’s hand and trusting that He will light the way. Bravo!

Raising Simba is a gripping and inspiring story of a mother and son, striving and succeeding through faith, hard work, and creativity. Falisa Ray keeps it real; you feel her pain and share her joy. A must-read for those who care about the arts, racial equity and justice, and living their faith.

Amazing book and wonderfully written. Kept me wanting to read more and more!

Raising Simba is a true testament to the power of love. Falisa Ray is the living embodiment of the scriptures of Corinthians.

This was such a good story. I was drawn to the use of scriptures to set the stage for what the chapter would be about. Thank you for sharing and showing what being persistent with faith, love and prayer looks like.

Loved this book! It is a play-by-play on faith and works. 100% recommend! God bless you all for sharing your story.
