About

Hi, I’m Rii!!

People tend to pronounce my name wrong so I began introducing myself as “Rii like the Bread” years ago, & it just stuck.

I am incredibly passionate about helping people. I currently work for a nonprofit as a Housing Case Manager, helping people get off the streets. I also run a pro makeup and skin care business called Gvldbvne Beauty, partnered with Limelife by Alcone, where I get to help people regain their confidence and be comfortable in their own skin.

A big part of that business involves talking with people and learning their stories. It’s one of the things that inspired me to do this!!

I’ve always loved writing, and I see this as an opportunity to share my experience and what I know with others, while learning and growing myself.

A little bit of background — I’m just over 3 years into my addiction recovery, I’ve been to school for both cosmetology and psychology, and I have a strong desire to make some kind of impact in the world.

Even if I only reach one person, at least I’ve done something!

This next chapter is going to be one for the books.
