Draya is often times made fun of whether its for her comments, television shows or her private relationships but little do we know what she does behind the scenes when professional cameras aren’t around. While tv these days hardly portray our favorite celebs in a more positive light, Draya took the matters in her own hands and showed us the good she does. Optimal Christian Academy is a black owned accredited private educational institution in Compton, Ca. Draya donated $5k of sales from a big dress sale to the school in efforts to provide funds to improve the school playground.

Last year around the same time I visited a school in Compton called optimal Christian Academy. I had the cameras of Basketball Wives come with me to capture it. However, it never made the final cut and never ended up on the actual show. The purpose of the visit was to establish a school with needs, I could donate to because I was having a big dress sale event and wanted to donate the proceeds. Due to all the drama that transpired during the season, I decided not to involve the women in what I wanted to be such a positive event and it never happened. Because I went to the school and told then I was going to help fix up their playground I decided I needed to keep my promise and fulfill it. Yesterday, I took my own camera and make sure only what was real was captured. The beautiful students and staff were all there to greet me and it was just amazing. The playground had holes in the asphalt and needed patching. My donation was enough to cover it and was so graciously appreciated. This school is a black-family-owned school and it feels good to be able to help out people like me. These are the types of businesses that need our support.
