About Raise the Bar Investments:

Raise the Bar Investments exists to provide young people of color with the relevant, timely, and holistic skills needed to build generational wealth and collectively decrease the racial wealth gap. In order to do this, Raise the Bar operates with values of excellence, integrity, and relationships at the forefront.

We are based in the following values:

  • Relationships: We care for the well-being of our clients and are generous in sharing the resources we have been blessed with.
  • Action: Belief in a goal is nothing without consistent action to get there. Daily, we act to get 1% better through personal development, growing in trading skills, and holding ourselves and our team & family accountable.
  • Integrity: Doing what you say you will do when you say you will do it. We hold ourselves to helping you fulfill your financial goals.
  • Scary goals: If it doesn’t scare you, just a little bit, the goal isn’t big enough. We believe we will play a pivotal role in eliminating the racial wealth gap.
  • Excellence: “Good better best. Never let it rest, until your good is better, and your better is best.” St. Jerome

Ray’Chel Wilson is not your regular teacher. She is a self proclaimed Teacher 2.0, challenging the norms of education and what it means to teach the whole person.

Honored as one of the top “20 Under 2” teachers across the state of Oklahoma for excelling on the front lines of the classroom, Ray’Chel finds educating about holistic financial wellness and closing the racial & gender wealth gaps, as a central part of her mission. Originally from Ohio, Ray’Chel moved to Black Wall Street, Tulsa, in order to teach high school biology to over 500 students and counting, while also blazing her own path to wealth as a first-generation entrepreneur. After achieving huge financial milestones, like leveraging cryptocurrency profits to pay off her undergraduate student loans, Ray’Chel birthed Raise the Bar Investments.
