PLEASED TO MEET YOU.
I'M ARDRE ORIE,
CELEBRITY MEMOIRIST and SCREENWRITER.
I’ve always believed that every ending in our lives is the start of a beautiful new beginning.
As a writer, I specialize in identifying the heart of every story I am blessed to tell so that they are grounded in their roots and amplified in their message.
My love of writing began when I wrote and published my first book at the age of 10, highlighting accomplished Black women in my community to ensure representation.
As a product of a single-parent home and a childhood survivor of domestic violence, I recognized that there was great power in the transparency of pain that manifests into stories of triumph. My three decades of writing includes a host of clients, including the WNBA, NBA, NFL, MTV, WETV, BRAVO, BET, CENTRIC, OWN, VH1, and YouTube, Grammy Award-winning artists, political activists, and politicians, as well as a bevy of entrepreneurs and everyday heroes.
My goal as a writer is to allow the voices of those who have suffered from oppressive circumstances to be heard and to create meaningful narratives that feed our souls and chronicle our experiences.
Prior to taking a leap of faith toward entrepreneurship, I attended Florida State University, where I earned both my undergraduate and Master’s Degrees in Special Education. After teaching for 4 years, I went on to earn an Ed.S in Educational Leadership.
Today, I reside in Atlanta, Georgia, with my husband, two daughters, and a loving son in college, and I work daily to bring compelling stories to life.
CANDID.
COMPELLING.
CONVERSATION.
As a Celebrity Memoirist, a significant part of my days are devoted to interviewing my clients. I'd like to say we're in candid, compelling conversation with one another. Amidst these honest exchanges, the best untold stories emerge. Stories that enlighten, inspire and those that have the power to change the way we see ourselves and the world.
Tune in each month for a new episode of Anecdotes with Ardre Orie as I share some of the most intimate moments and interesting stories with you. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll finish each episode motivated to live life more authentically.
