We had the good fortune of connecting with Olandriss Hill and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Olandriss, do you have some perspective or insight you can share with us on the question of when someone should give up versus when they should keep going?
Keep Going , Because you’ve come this far you’ve arose from the ashes unscathed & You we’re able to keep the knowledge of everything you’ve been through some one really close to me told me it’s like having one hand on the tip of the mountain and all you have to do is gather your strength one last time to pull yourself up to see whats on the other side if you stop and hang to long eventually You’re going to get tired and let go of the dream and you will fall …Keep Going

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I’d like to start off by saying I am a Artist because I have a gift to create anything from music ,art ,clothing, lyrics ,you name it I’m capable of bringing anything I touch to life .I even speak so well it motivates people and uplifts their spirit . What got me to this point in my life was my late boyfriend ,he was killed back home in our town Montgomery, Alabama. His Name Is Warrick Ruggs but We Called Him JUNK (JR) For Short ,& He put this same dream I’m living now he put it in my head ,Well we both came up with the idea to become worldwide superstars with our own clothing brand & When I lost him my world turned upside down I had know other choice but to chase  after my dreams with everything I had in me I couldn’t let him down and it’s been almost 3 years and I still go hard and keep his name alive ,He told me to smile for him when he die & I want stop .This wasn’t easy at all mentally I was lost & physically I was just going like a robot but how I over came the pain and the hurt was through meditation being alone with myself learning to live for me and understanding that life challenges only come to build you up anything that is broken can be rebuilt and used .I learned that at the times I thought I was at my lowest or my weakest I was really in hibernation learning ,developing into the best version of myself I was  born to  be ,so that once I ,the caterpillar came out of that cocoon ,with wings to soar and let everyone see how beautiful I am and what Ive become ,those tears I shed that blood & sweat wouldn’t be for nothing losing a love like his wouldn’t be for nothing Why ?Because I became someone, Me…I want the world to know that it is okay to be you and love you ,it’s okay to feel ,it’s okay love ,it’s okay to lose ,it’s okay to win but it’s never okay to GIVE UP ..Take Pride in yourself and anything else that is you or your brand just don’t  let your pride keep you from learning ,living and loving all you can, learn and be all that you can be listen to others because we don’t know everything we think we do until we’re in a situation, knowing we should’ve just listened to someone.Lastly love you for you I have 3 Different personalities and I embrace each and everyone .Boo ,Queen & Landriss I Can’t Wait fo The would to meet US …
