Meredith Roberts said, "Latoya is a rare and uniquely talented person who elevates everything she touches, and her creative sensibilities span stories for preschool, kids, families and adults. She's one of the most natural, talented storytellers I have ever encountered, and we are proud to be supporting her vision."

Raveneau is currently directing Disney Television Animation's newly debuted series "The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder'' on Disney+ and is executive producer with Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson and Tariq "Black Thought" Trotter (The Roots) of the recently debuted animated shorts "Rise Up, Sing Out" on Disney+, Disney Channel and Disney Junior.

Dedicated to representation and mentorship, Raveneau is featured in a Disney Channel "Reimagine Tomorrow" interstitial, a conversation about role models with Yolanda Renee King, teen human rights activist and granddaughter of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King. The segment was directed by B. Monet. Raveneau began her professional career as a production assistant on Disney Junior's "Sheriff Callie's Wild West" and, since then, has worked as a writer, storyboard artist and director on multiple animated series. Her storyboard credits include Disney's "Miles From Tomorrowland" and "Puppy Dog Pals." She also served as a writer on the Netflix preschool series "Super Monster" and assistant-directed the Adult Swim series "Final Space."

A dynamic leader within her industry and a seasoned public speaker, Raveneau has collaborated with Banff's World Media Festival, Black Women Animate and ASIFA-Hollywood. In January 2021, she was honored with the Next Gen Award from the inaugural Black in Animation Awards.

She earned a Master of Fine Arts in animation and is a summa cum laude graduate with a bachelor's in fine arts and English with a concentration in creative writing from the University of California, Los Angeles. While at UCLA, she was lauded with its Director's Spotlight Award for Short Animated Films, the Matt Groening Initiative for Short Animated Films, and the Thompson Prize in English for Best Creative Writing Thesis in 2012.

Raveneau is represented by Matt Shichtman of The Gotham Group and Allison Binder at Goodman, Genow, Schenkman, Smelkinson & Christopher, LLP.
