Patina Miller Says Raquel’s Confidence in ‘Raising Kanan’ Has Empowered Her Too


Patina Miller talks about the allure of her legendary "Power Book III: Raising Kanan" character, drug queenpin Raquel 'Raq' Thomas.

For three seasons, “ Power Book III: Raising Kanan ” star Patina Miller has stood in drug queenpin Raquel “Raq” Thomas’ thigh-high stiletto boots. In the ‘90s-set series, Raq, the matriarch of her family, spearheads her business while struggling to maintain increasingly rocky relationships with her brothers Marvin (London Brown) and Lou-Lou (Malcolm Mays) and her teenage son Kanan (MeKai Curtis). She has this really difficult task of being the breadwinner, of being this woman in charge and the tension and what that might feel like of constantly never knowing the danger that presents itself, but also trying to have this family life where you’re trying to be to mother.
