Born Sayidat Balogun in the radiant heart of Miami, Florida, Mo’Raye Banxx—known affectionately as Mo’ or Mo’Money—is a magnetic force in the world of multimedia, motivation, and unapologetic womanhood. Raised at the intersection of two powerful traditions—Christian and Muslim, under the watchful eye of a proud Nigerian father and a strong, Coconut Grove-rooted mother—Mo’Raye grew up drenched in culture, compassion, and conviction. With deep familial ties to Greater St. Paul AME Church, her earliest stages were not soundstages but choir stands, youth programs, and community pulpits. From there, the spark was lit. Whether it was music, television, public speaking, or the art of a good story, she felt it in her bones—she was born to connect, to communicate, and to create. By high school, Mo’Raye was already a local powerhouse, competing in musical theatre, debate, and spoken word, and drawing heavy inspiration from Black media titans like Tom Joyner, Wendy Williams, Supa Cindy, and Shelby Rushin. With big dreams and even bigger presence, she journeyed to the legendary Southern University A&M College, also attending Louisiana State University, where she earned a degree in Mass Communication (Broadcasting) and a minor in Public Relations in 2015. But the real work began when she came home.
