A beloved and towering figure within the Washington DC area, Rayceen Pendarvis is often referred to as “Auntie Rayceen” by many in the community who revere the DC icon as a trusted counselor and mentor. Their reverence is only natural since Pendarvis has established a firm reputation as a nurturing and maternal figure with a keen ability to dispense a wide range of useful advice.
Therefore, within the past decade, it came as no surprise when Pendarvis accepted the call to begin sharing that advice with readers of not one, but several lifestyle magazines targeting the African-American and LGBTQ communities. Collectively, these articles have continued to widen the career umbrella of the Pendarvis brand while also spreading the spirit and core values of the diva's overall mission.

In the Fall of 2013, Rayceen Pendarvis began writing periodic advice columns for SWERV Magazine. These insightful articles often begin with a variety of interesting titles, including, “The Snow Queen”, “Thick, Fine, And Over 50!”, “Cyber Love or Cyber Lust”, and “All Queens Don't Wear A Crown!” Although these “tell it like it is” commentaries are often laced with a sassy brand of comedy, readers are always given solid and meaningful “pearls of wisdom”. Each and every article is refreshingly unique in that they are all specifically tailored to the special needs of the LGBTQ community.
