I wanted a quick way and fun way to introduce myself and stumbled across another blogger who created a get to know me tag for bloggers and YouTubers.
The original had 50 questions, I decided to answer my favorite 25!
- Are you named after anyone? Yes and no. My parents had already decided on Reya because they thought it was original and cute. They did decide to take some inspiration from my grandpa Ray and adjusted the spelling to Raya.
