From Disney to AFROTV, Raquel Herring Reclaims the Spotlight with Her Empowerment-Fueled Media Empire, Viral Podcast, and Book 'Falling Up'

(Black PR Wire) ORLANDO, FL — Raquel Herring, the first Afro-Latina Mouseketeer and two-time Star Search Grand Champion, is once again commanding national attention, this time as the dynamic moderator and host of AFROTV’s national primetime show Point of View (POV) leading a cultural conversation five nights a week. Herring brings both gravitas and heart to the national stage. With a bold voice, powerful platform, and unstoppable personal brand, Herring is not just returning to the spotlight—she’s building a media empire that speaks to faith, freedom, and fearless transformation.

A household name with a legacy she’s been in your living room, your playlists, and your childhood memories. From Disney to major record labels to national television, Herring’s legacy is iconic. But in 2025, she’s proving that longevity isn’t about nostalgia, it’s about authenticity, alignment, and resilience.

Herring’s return to television as moderator of POV is more than a career move, it’s a cultural moment. The live weeknight show, broadcast on AFROTV at 7:30pm EST Comcast 1623 and on social media to millions across the country, features bold and unfiltered discussions on politics, relationships, pop culture, and identity through the lens of Black America. With Raquel at the helm, POV has found a host who’s both seasoned and magnetic, commanding the screen with intelligence, charm, and fun.

But POV is just one room in what Raquel calls her evolving “PlanetRoq Empire”—a multiplatform media universe built to inspire, uplift, and speak truth to power.

At its core is her powerful podcast PlanetRoq, airing Thursdays at 12 PM EST on EnvisionRadio.com. The show has garnered a loyal and growing following, offering weekly revelations on confidence, culture, and personal growth. With thousands tuning in across platforms, PlanetRoq is fast becoming the go-to destination for spiritual insight, deeply personal commentary, and the kind of honest talk that mainstream media often avoids.

Her memoir, Falling Up: The Unstoppable Journey of a Teer, has also earned critical acclaim. Part autobiography, part roadmap, the book chronicles her triumphs and traumas from surviving the entertainment machine to surviving herself. It’s a must-read for anyone who’s ever faced rejection, betrayal, or heartbreak and dared to rise anyway.

Herring has also launched NV Luxury Exclusive; a handcrafted skincare line rooted in holistic healing and self-worth. From the stage to skincare, her brand is built on one theme: you can rise, and you can do it beautifully.

“I’m not reinventing myself. I’m remembering who I was before the world told me who to be.”

This moment isn’t manufactured. It’s the result of surviving, sharpening, and showing up in faith. Raquel Herring isn’t chasing trends she’s commanding truth across every mic, camera, and chapter of her brand.
