"Raiyon is an incomparable person and professional. I have known her since she was just a wide eyed scholar in my classroom as a high schooler and I have had the privilege to witness her brilliance and her growth. She gives everything a thousand percent, she is a leader by nature, but has always had the beautiful gift of adaptability and inclusivity. Raiyon knows how to rally people together. Her encouraging spirit charges people to believe in the best version of themselves, to rise to the occasion and to foster and nurture community. That is impact. That is the true testament of a professional and a leader. As Raiyon continues to break barriers and surprise herself with her own abilities, her impact will continue to grow. Anyone who has worked with or simply been around Raiyon, is all the better for it…myself included."

As a casting director, she brings an incredible level of intelligence, thoughtfulness, creativity, and attention to detail to everything she does. She takes her work seriously, communicates well, and always puts genuine care into making sure every project is handled at the highest level.

She is dependable, passionate about her craft, and someone I would trust completely to bring both professionalism and excellence to any project."

She’s a casting director and producer that deeply cares for and about the artists she works with, and the institutions she shapes with her presence. As a director, she creates rooms where art thrives dynamically and safely. Every member of our community from artistic staff, production, company members, to community partners are empowered by her commanding and caring authority."

"I have now worked with Raiyon Hunter twice as a casting assistant and she is a great boss! She is very attentive, knowledgeable, and talented in her field. Anytime I or anyone needed assistance, she was highly responsive and always invested time to help navigate challenges. Also, she excels at fostering independent ownership of projects, yet consistently provides a supportive safety net whenever challenges arise. I hope to keep working with her on projects and think she excels in any position she’s in!"
