About Ore Ishola

Oreoluwa “Ore” Ishola is a Nigerian-American creative visionary, founder and author with a heart for helping people build rooted lives from the inside out.

She is the founder and CEO of Rayo Luxe, a premium scent-led gifting and wellness brand that is redefining fragrance on the African continent. With flagship operations in Lagos, Nigeria, and Columbus, Ohio, Rayo Luxe combines identity-driven luxury with faith-rooted storytelling—one scent, one ritual at a time.

Beyond business, Ore is a powerful writer and speaker known for her honest, grace-centered approach to life and faith. Her debut book, Honestly, You Can Breathe Now, is a bold and deeply personal invitation to break free from religious performance and return to the rest, clarity, and power found in Christ. Her writing extends weekly through her Substack newsletter, Rooted Letters, where she explores spiritual growth, emotional healing, cultural clarity, and what it means to live authentically as a believer in a noisy world.

Ore also serves the Church through teaching, ministry leadership, and community-building. She is deeply committed to raising rooted believers who don’t just survive spiritual warfare—but see clearly, abide deeply, and live fully from their identity in Christ. Her ministry focus includes spiritual discernment, grace theology, biblical identity, and kingdom-rooted living for the next generation.

Whether she’s curating a scent, writing a chapter, leading a workshop, or simply being still in the presence of God, Ore’s mission is the same: to help people exhale, remember who they are, and live from a place of rest, not performance.
