Selling everything in their everything for the hope of someday their daughter would become a star, the Pearman's moved to New York to get Raven going. Raven was signed to a modeling agency. Trying to live in a new city was hard for them, but something was going to make it all worthy! Raven's parents constantly looked for places that Raven could be in and play roles. But the perfect role was yet to be discovered by Bill Cosby in 1989. Even though Bill knew it was hard for her to be in the show since she is really young, he couldn't resist the talent in the little girls eyes. Finally, it had been set that Raven will be playing Olivia Kendall in the popular "Cosby Show". After the Cosby phase, Raven moved to "Hanging with Mr. Cooper" playing Nicole Lee.

She even got her name in the show title making it one of the few African-American women with their name used in their show. In early 2002, Raven was signed a contract for Disney Channel's "Kim Possible" as the role of Monique. Since Raven was very good with music, having had released 2 previous albums which both landed the platinum stage, she wanted to show the new Raven! She starred in Disney Channel's Original movie "The Cheetah Girls" showing both her acting and singing skills. She returned to her Nebuela rule in the Zenon series with "Zenon: Z3". In 2006 Raven starred in the dramatic Lifetime Original Movie, "For One Night" about a girl standing up to the "traditionalized" segregated proms in the 21st century in Southern United States.
