Pryor, has also received honors for her commitment to arts education by Business Women of Baltimore, and Baltimore Department of Education.

Her leadership skills began back in the early 90s when Rain was part of a gang ceasefire in Los Angeles, and was an substance abuse dual diagnosis counselor, and helped establish treatment protocols for two rehabs in Los Angeles. Rain used all of her experiences to run for local office in Baltimore MD in the 3rd District in 2019.

Pryor is a Schusterman Fellow, developing her leadership skills and participating in panel discussions on race and intersectionality, helping to find the “Both/Ands” during a time of conflict.

Pryor is truly brilliant performer. Her performances are considered thought provoking through truthful storytelling, and she has spot on mimicry, which landed her to be nominated by the NAACP three times. She won an NAACP for her irreverent solo show “Fried Chicken & Latkes, and for her role as the evil stepsister in the Michael Jackson produced musical Sisterella. She was nominated for the prestigious ADELCO Awards for her Off Broadway run at the National Black Theatre in Harlem.
