My name is Orianna, but people call me Orie. I’m the oldest of three girls. My mother was raised in foster care. We grew up rough and it wasn't the easiest. My mom wasn't able to fulfill her dreams as the hairstylist she knew she was gifted to be. She would take her clients at home so I was always surrounded by new hair products and techniques. This peaked my interest as a child. My mom showed me how to survive the same way I am trying to now. Growing up, I was able to follow her footsteps and help her assist some of her clients as her mini personal assistant. My mom taught me how to conquer my fears by doing hair and that built my confidence. Hair has been a way my mother was able to take care of herself and her children as she aged out of foster care. She was able to make a living, raising her family. My mother has been my role model because even when she was down, I could never tell. My mom would always put on a show with her hair and makeup. I don’t know what my mom saw in the mirror that made her so persistent with every look, but in that mirror I saw a Queen of Queens. It was as if she kept her superhero outfit in her makeup bag. Her hair was supernatural. Her makeup was done to perfection and she tuned out the world once that tool was in her hand.
