Ra Ruiz was born in Puerto rico and grew up in the Bronx, where for two years she and her mother and brothers endured periods of homelessness. She graduated from Evander Childs High School in 2005, and now is a junior at the New School, living in a dormitory in the Uper East Side that she says is too loud late at night.
