Arielle Estoria

Sometimes we’re asked to step into roles we never imagined we’d occupy.

As a young girl Arielle loved to perform – singing and dancing for friends and family – but then middle school happened and, as Arielle says, “You grow up and you see the world a lot more and you realize maybe it’s a lot scarier and you’re not sure how you fit anymore so you make yourself super small. That was my season of making myself small and insecure.”

Arielle returned to theater in high school but her days of center stage were over. At least that’s what she thought. But you can only outrun your purpose for so long and Arielle’s purpose was chasing her down.

In college Arielle found herself back on stage, sharing her heart through slam and spoken word poetry. Her words had power. They resonated and moved the audience. Arielle could no longer deny her purpose. So, in spite of a lot of fear and uncertainty, Arielle chose to devote one year after college to her creativity.

One year turned into four, and today Arielle performs on stages around the world, bringing people together through the power of vulnerability, truth, and love. It’s not always easy and the path forward isn’t always clear, but Arielle has fully stepped into the one role she was made for and it’s changing people lives, one spoken word at a time.

“It’s not a life that makes sense at the end of the day and it can’t make sense except for the fact that I was made for this. I have been purposefully and intentionally designed to do this.”
