One of the youngest in history to have ever worked in a professional capacity at The White House, at 21, she was an elite member of what they called at the time, "the Georgia Mafia," reserved only for the most influential Georgians with close proximity to President Jimmy Carter. C. DeLores Tucker, and Coretta Scott King were mentors with whom she spoke daily. A little known fact is that Michael Jackson was one of the last people to speak to Mrs. King before she died. Raymone set up the call through her friend, the late Yolanda King.

Raymone Bain is an unsung hero, who has cracked the glass ceiling into tiny pieces, and without much fanfare. Her representation of some of the most herald athletes and entertainers are testament to this fact.

While still a student at Georgetown University Law Center, she was hired by the legendary and iconic, Richard Pryor, and his powerful attorney, Terry Giles. They had just met her at a dinner party in Washington, D.C. She was just that impressive; and, she was only 25 years old.
