What’s on tap for Raven in 2011
Raven-Symone Christina Pearman, 25, has had a busy 2011 so far and doesn-t plan on slowing down. After receiving the Spirit Award at the 21st NAACP Theatre Awards in Hollywood, she-s back to filming more episodes of her new ABC Family series “Great State of Georgia.’ She-s also putting the finishing touches of her fifth studio album and still wants to release it independently instead of on an already established label.
Late September sees the release of the animated movie “Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue,’ with Raven playing the voice of the fairy Iridessa. She also plans to continue her YouTube cooking tips series, Raven-Symone Presents, when she gets some free time. She also has her hands full with her three dogs.
Raven made headline news this summer by shedding 35 pounds during her appearance at the NAACP Awards and the Teen Choice Awards. Raven, previously proud of her full figure, took up Pilates in late 2010 and still works out about 30 minutes a day. She notes that even though she-s now skinny enough to better help her career and her overall health, she still has low self-confidence.
Raven can also be seen as a celebrity judge on “RuPaul-s Drag Race.’
