We recently connected with Angelle Morris and have shared our conversation below.
Angelle, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today We believe kindness is contagious and so we’d love for you to share with us and our audience about the kindest thing anyone has ever done for you?
One of the kindest things anyone has ever done for me happened when I was very young. My mom was battling cancer while also going through a divorce, and life felt like it was unraveling in every direction. My father couldn’t fully care for me, and my mom was too ill to do so herself. In the middle of that storm, my grandparents stepped in without hesitation. They took me in, loved me deeply, and raised me as their own — not just for a season, but all the way through high school and beyond.
Even now, in their 80s, they’re still there for me in ways big and small. Their love has been a steady, unshakable presence through every chapter of my life. It’s the purest example I’ve ever seen of unconditional love — the kind that expects nothing in return and keeps showing up, no matter what.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I’m the founder of Noella Grace, a brand built on the idea of affordable elegance — creating timeless accessories that help men and women feel confident, refined, and seen without having to spend a fortune. The inspiration behind Noella Grace is deeply personal. My grandmother, in particular, had an incredible eye for design, fashion, and elegance, always finding ways to make things look luxurious and beautiful while staying practical and affordable. Their example of grace, love, and quiet strength is woven into everything I create.
My journey into this industry began with a love for design and storytelling. I’ve always believed that what we wear says something about who we are — not in a loud way, but in a meaningful one. I wanted to create pieces that speak to people who value simplicity, faith, and substance over trends. At Noella Grace, we offer thoughtfully designed accessories, jewelry, and handbags that blend style with sentiment. Each piece is intentional, with a story behind it.
What sets Noella Grace apart is heart. Everything we create — from a bracelet to a pearl-covered clutch — is designed with care, inspired by legacy, and made to last. My hope is that when someone wears Noella Grace, they don’t just see a product; they feel something — confidence, connection, or even peace.
What I’m most proud of is staying true to that vision. Noella Grace is more than a name — it’s a reflection of where I come from and what I believe in: elegance, resilience, and grace that endures, inspired by the love and wisdom of my grandparents.
Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
One lesson I had to unlearn was the idea that asking for help is a sign of weakness. Growing up, I saw my mom battle cancer while going through a divorce, and there were times I felt like I had to handle everything on my own. I carried that into adulthood, believing that independence meant doing it all without leaning on anyone.
It took me years to realize that true strength often comes from leaning on the people who love you — and that accepting help isn’t weakness, it’s wisdom. My grandparents were living proof of that. They poured love, time, and support into me when I needed it most, and they continue to do so even now. Learning to accept that care, and to offer it to others without hesitation, changed the way I approach life, business, and relationships.
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
A story that truly illustrates my resilience comes from my experience going through a divorce that almost broke me. I lost myself in that marriage, and when it ended, I felt completely shattered. I was financially struggling, barely able to take care of my kids, and carrying the weight of humiliation. My confidence was in pieces, and I developed deep trust issues with men after enduring cheating and abuse.
Despite all of that, I had to find a way to rebuild — to reclaim who I am and what I’m capable of. It wasn’t a quick process, and I still carry some of those scars, but I learned how to stand on my own, trust my instincts again, and create a life grounded in my values. That strength carried over into everything I do, including building Noella Grace. Resilience, for me, isn’t just about surviving; it’s about taking the pain, learning from it, and using it to fuel growth, creativity, and a commitment to living authentically.
