We’ve Got Stories to Tell
It is my belief that every face bears an untold story that the world deserves to hear.
As the product of a single parent home and childhood survivor of domestic violence, Ardre recognized that there was great power in the transparency of her pain through storytelling. Her goal as a media maven is to create platforms and media that allow the voices of those who have suffered from oppressive circumstances to be heard and to create meaningful media that feeds our souls and sheds light on our experiences.
Prior to taking a leap of faith towards entrepreneurship, Ardre attended Florida State University where she earned both her undergraduate and Master’s Degrees in Special Education. After teaching for 4 years, she went on to earn an Ed.S in Educational Leadership.
Orie continues to thrive as the “Queen of Storytelling” while creating a rich legacy of love.
Ardre Orie currently resides in Chicago, Illinois with her husband and two daughters and a loving son in college.
Let us empower you.
