In this episode of Storytime with The Ashé Shop, we dive into the powerful Yoruba pataki that reveals what happens before we are born, when each soul chooses its Ori—its personal divinity and destiny. This ancient story reminds us that while life may twist, turn, and hit unexpected detours, the Ori we select is final and unwavering. We can pray to the Orisha, call on our ancestors, and negotiate with the universe, but ultimately…

Ori decides.

Join Ashley as she shares this timeless tale with humor, heart, and insight—inviting you to reflect on your own destiny, alignment, and the sacred responsibility of following the path your Ori chose.

Take a breath. Settle in.
And embrace the Ashé.
