Although Rain lives a reserved life and does not often share the contents of her lifestyle online, the comedian is making big moves to be an influential part of the nation.

Aside from her interest in the entertainment industry, she also finds politics as an essential aspect. In 2019, Richard's daughter announced that she would be going against Baltimore's councilman, Ryan Dorsey.

She attempted suicide during her teenage years but later became confident about her heritage.

The motivation to run for the post was born out of her desire to intrude in a bullying case in her child's school and how the school authorities handled it. When asked why she wanted to assume a political role, she said:

"I am running for office because my district needs an elected official that represents the voice of the community."
