About

PLEASED TO MEET YOU

I'm Ardre Orie, Celebrity Memoirist.

It is my belief that the story of your life is less about the final destination and more about who you became on the way there. 

My process is deeply intimate, intentional, and rooted in reverence for truth, legacy, and the lives behind the stories. I believe every lived experience carries a blueprint, not just for personal healing, but for generational impact. Through thoughtful interviews, immersive listening, and narrative strategy, I embolden my clients to uncover the essence of who they are beyond the spotlight. I ask the questions no one else has, and hold space for the answers you didn’t know you were ready to give. My commitment is to preserve each story with integrity and care, honoring both the trials and triumphs.

 Memoir is more than storytelling—it is a celebration of existence and a sacred act of remembrance. It is how we make sense of who we were, and a commitment to pass down wisdom to those who will follow in our footsteps. 

My clients trust me with their most powerful truths, and in return, I give them something no one else can: a voice on the page that feels like home. If you're ready to be fully seen and masterfully remembered, let's tell your story together.

My Story

I’ve always known that curating words is my superpower.

Long before I became a memoirist, I was the little girl in class who “talked too much”—the one who couldn’t let a good story pass her by. At just ten years old, I wrote and published my first book. That moment—landing on the front page of my local newspaper and selling copies out of the trunk of my mother’s car—taught me a truth I still hold dear: stories are currency, connection, and community. They move people. They matter.

It wasn’t until life got heavy that I understood the true weight of storytelling. During my adolescence, the pen became my sanctuary. In a home marked by domestic violence, my notebooks were my safe haven. The pages listened. The ink never lied. Somewhere between the trauma and the truth, I wrote myself into survival. I didn’t know it yet, but I was laying the foundation for a lifelong mission: to use storytelling as a pathway to liberation—for myself and for others.

That mission followed me into adulthood. While serving as an assistant principal at an elementary school, I discovered how writing could be both a tool and a torch—illuminating not only lessons for students but healing for generations. Eventually, I walked away from my career in education, moved to a new state, and returned to the power of my pen—this time with conviction, clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose. I began using my voice to help others find theirs.

Today, I write to preserve legacy. I write to help visionaries, icons, and everyday heroes turn their truths into timeless blueprints. I write so that no one has to carry their story in silence.

I wake up each morning without an alarm clock, driven by purpose and a deep commitment to honoring the lives, lessons, and legacies of those I have the blessing to serve.

I currently reside in Atlanta, Georgia, with my husband, our three children, and our pet bunny, Chanel.
