About Myca Raquel

My goal in life is to always carry with me more questions than answers, because it is my relentless curiosity that fuels me to keep seeking truth, justice, equality and the most genuine form of happiness in everything my spirit touches.
At any given time, I’m probably toggling between Google Docs, a vision board, and a playlist titled something like “Solange Sundays” or “Abstract Acoustics” My world is a rhythm of strategic thinking and creative expression.
At my core, I’m a storyteller. I’ve always believed that stories—real ones, the messy, beautiful, human kind—can shift realities, build connections, and change the world. That belief took me from the journalism lab in high school to Southern Methodist University (Pony Up!) where I studied journalism and fashion media before coming back to earn my MBA. Along the way, I taught journalism, launched Forward Magazine at 24, and created F.A.S.H.—a fashion-meets-purpose project that brought together creatives from LA to London.
Now, I lead Myca Raquel Consulting, a brand strategy and marketing firm that helps businesses—from social justice orgs in California to startups in Texas—turn their data into stories that resonate. I’ve helped clients secure six-figure contracts, land features in NBC Texas and PaperCity, and grow their digital presence across email, social media and other digital channels.
In 2024, I was selected as one of just 25 national entrepreneurs in the NMSDC Emerging Young Entrepreneurs cohort. I am also a proud Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses alumni. I’ve also produced federally and city-funded grant projects like Generation Wealth , Shades of Excellence, Unseen Visions and Crowning Glory.
I wear a several hats: entrepreneur, creative director, journalist, investor, former high school teacher, poet, forever little sister, and playlist curator. And while I’ve been blessed to have my name attached to some pretty cool things, I’m most proud of the spaces I’ve built where peoples feel seen, supported, and celebrated.
While this space serves as a digital portfolio of my professional work, it is also my diary to success, creative journal for emotional cleansing and music dispensary for gems that live in my playlists. Tag along for the ride (if you dare).
