The Inspiration
Riiize draws its name from the powerful poem "Still I Rise" by Maya Angelou. This inspiring piece embodies themes of resilience and, encouraging readers to persevere through challenges. With each line the poem serves as a reminder that no matter the obstacles faced, one can rise above and continue moving forward. Riiize is a celebration of that spirit, inspiring individuals to embrace their journey with courage and hope.
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
Cause I walk like I’ve got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I’ll rise.
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.
Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don’t you take it awful hard‘
Cause I laugh like I’ve got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own back yard.
You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.
Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I’ve got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?
Out of the huts of history’s shameI rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I’m a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.
-Maya Angelou
About Our Logo
Riiize, the logo we are so proud of. The name was created by Eno Obot the logo was made possible with he contribution of all of the founders and made a reality by Jessica Peterson-Rangel.
Imagine a phoenix, a majestic bird of myth and legend, rising from the ashes. Its feathers, once consumed by flames, now glow with a radiant spectrum of fiery hues—oranges, yellows and golds that shimmer and dance with every beat of its powerful wings. As it ascends, the air around it crackles with energy, and a trail of sparkling embers follows in its wake, painting the sky with a breathtaking display of light.
The phoenix's eyes, bright and piercing, reflect the wisdom of countless lifetimes. With each upward stroke, it sheds the remnants of its past, embracing a new beginning with grace and strength. The world below watches in awe as this symbol of rebirth and renewal soars higher, embodying the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth.
In its ascent, the phoenix inspires all who witness its rise, reminding them that from the depths of despair and destruction, beauty and hope can emerge anew.
