RONISHA
I’m a Memphis-born storyteller, floral creative, and faith-filled woman with big dreams and soft hands. Very into: collard greens and conversation, rich storytelling, and creating a life that feels as good as it looks. Avoiding small talk and surface living since forever.
But it wasn’t always this way. Before the flowers and storytelling, there was just a girl with a notebook, a prayer, and a dream to create something that made people feel seen.
Ten years ago, I was moving through the soft hum of a boutique hotel, wearing all black and serving others with a smile. I didn’t realize it then, but even in that season, God was teaching me how to host — not just tables, but hearts.
At 25, I saved every penny I could and booked a one-way flight to Atlanta with $700 in my pocket. Leaving Memphis felt like stepping into the unknown — and it was. That leap turned a small dream into a life filled with storytelling, travel, and a purpose I didn’t even know was waiting for me.
It makes perfect sense now — that little girl with a homemade neighborhood newspaper, writing about whatever felt important that week, was already becoming who she was meant to be: a storyteller with something to say and a heart to share it...
CURRENTLY...
You’ll probably find me with a cup of coffee in hand, bingeing reruns of Scandal or A Different World, tucked into my little green desk in my closet/office — quietly dreaming up ways we can all move from where we are to where we long to be.
Want to know what lights me up? Helping women harness the power to take control of their lives. Busting the myth of balance. Showing the dreamer that starting a business is closer than they think. Redefining a person’s beauty in a world that tells us who to be. Shining a spotlight on glorious truths so we can all find our way back to a life that is truly our own.
In case you’re new around here, I believe that change happens where the woo meets the work. I can’t wait to show you exactly what I mean…
