We’re two different religions. He’s from California. He was raised differently. I’m from the South. I was raised with just my momma, and he was raised with a whole crew of people.”

Raven’s advice for BIP Season 8 contestants

Raven is very grateful for what the show has given her. Now, as Season 8 prepares to film, Raven has some advice for those heading to the beach. She said, “That’s what frustrates me about Bachelor in Paradise sometimes is that people can get overlooked. My advice is to go for the guy in the corner.
