Racquel applied to F.I.T (The Fashion Institute of Technology) after high school and was rejected several times before making her home at Nassau Community College. There she earned a 2 year associate degree in fashion design. During college she continued playing basketball and juggling an internship at the CoolWear showroom on 7th ave.
