Growing up, there were turtles, fish, dogs, cats and birds at home. Mom drew the line at snakes though. More than animals, Raasheema loved children. She was the favorite Auntie that gathered the kids up for fun times. When she had her own child, Domonic, she was a no nonsense Mom. Raasheema was a great cook and her specialties were steak tacos and pizza burgers. She loved gospel and old school music and could sing along. Raasheema was a loyal friend and brutally honest.
