Built by the First, for the First.
As a first-generation success, our founder knew what it meant to be the first—
The first to graduate.
The first to earn six figures.
The first to hold it all together while silently falling apart.
On paper, everything looked perfect. But internally?
There was burnout, guilt, isolation—and a deep ache for something more.
That ache became Lacuna.
Hi, I’m Raven Symone Simon,
Being the first carries weight—heavy with expectation, invisible with pressure. I was the first in my family to become a CPA, soon, the first to earn a doctorate, and the first to operate multiple businesses while leading in Corporate America. But with each milestone came the quiet cost: the isolation of not having a roadmap, the guilt of upward mobility, and the trauma of navigating wealth without guidance. I knows what it feels like to earn more than ever before—and still feel like it’s never enough.
After more than 15 years of success in the financial world, I now use my experience not just to build wealth—but to heal it. Through my work, I bridge the emotional and financial, offering clarity to those carrying the silent scars of money trauma. Now based in Atlanta, GA, I dedicate my life to guiding others through the same unspoken struggles I once faced.
I am the founder of Simon Accounting Services (SAS), where financial strategy meets billion dollar banking accounts. I also lead ReaJoyce, a beauty brand rooted in identity and self-worth, and BeVita, a herbal supplement company that nurtures wellness from within. As a prolific voice in both finance and healing, I am currently writing my third book—expanding my mission to help others find language for what they've felt but never named.
soon to be Dr., I BOLDLY stand in the gap—between legacy and burden, success and silence, survival and sovereignty. I’m a CPA, a Certified Financial Therapist, and a woman who understands lacuna: the aching space that forms when you're the first to go where no one else in your family has gone.
My story is not just one of achievement, but of transcendence—transforming pain into purpose, and scarcity into sovereignty. I don’t just talk about money—I talk about the silence around it. The shame. The pressure. The inheritance of wounds we never asked for, but must learn to release.
Through every number, every narrative, and every name I touch, I create space for healing. I am not here to rise alone—but here to reach back, to repair the gap, and to remind others that they are not the only ones carrying it all.
