My name is Dr. Raynard Butler, and I am a pharmacist by trade. A quintessential Libra, I embody justice, balance, equality, creative expression, freedom, empathy, charity, diplomacy, and light-heartedness. For me, the transfer of positive energy is essential.
Life has its way of making us feel discouraged or “not enough” at times. We live in a world full of negativity, comparison, and flaw-avowing content. The truth is, every one of us carries experiences that shape us — some of which can be painful, perennial, or even traumatic. I believe we are all perfectly flawed and full of untapped potential.
My own journey with uncertainties and insecurities has given me a heart for those who struggle in silence, who find it difficult to express themselves in healthy ways, or who wrestle with acceptance and healing. I’ve been fortunate to have people in my corner during my darkest moments. I know, however, that not everyone has this privilege. For that reason, I feel both grateful and humbled — and also universally and spiritually obligated — to extend grace, exchange positive energy, and be present for those often overlooked.
This is why I started RᴀʏɴG. It’s a space born out of advocacy, empathy, and creativity, where mental health awareness is a central pillar. RᴀʏɴG exists to empower others to find strength, resilience, and lightness, while embracing the beautiful imperfections that make us human.
Beyond my professional work and advocacy, my hobbies keep me connected to my passions: artistic and creative pursuits, reading, writing, swimming, nature, music, graphic design, modeling, photography, critical thinking, and action planning. I thrive on open-ended, thought-provoking conversations and exploring perspectives different from my own.
At its heart, RᴀʏɴG is about creating connection, sharing positive energy, and reminding each other that we are never alone on this journey.
