Ari Simone

I grew up in church, but I didn't develop a genuine relationship with God until college. Childhood traumas of rejection, loneliness, confusion, and shame shaped my identity for years. I couldn't see myself the way God saw me. Through godly community, mentorship, and a firm "yes," I chose to stop settling for anxiety, lack of confidence, addiction, and condemnation. I wanted more. God wanted more for me—and He wants the same for you.

I'm Ariana, though most people call me Ari. For over 12 years, I've dedicated myself to serving youth and young adults across diverse backgrounds, guiding them through both career and personal development. My academic journey—including a Master's degree from Emory University's Candler School of Theology—equipped me with the tools to pair faith with practical, holistic growth. Along the way, I discovered a passion for hearing others' stories and offering support in moments of healing, discovery, and transformation.

This passion led me to answer the call to ministry and found Revealing Your Crown, Inc.—a 501(c)(3) nonprofit committed to equipping the next generation to live with confidence and purpose. We provide holistic resources: faith formation, leadership training, financial literacy, real estate education, and career development—all designed to prepare young people not just to dream, but to thrive as leaders who transform their communities.

When young people are given the tools and truth they need, their entire trajectory changes.

Choosing God's plan has opened doors I never could have imagined, from serving internationally in Sweden to mentoring locally in Atlanta. Each opportunity reminds me of the urgency and impact of this work.

I believe now is the time to invest boldly in the next generation. Together, we can ensure they are spiritually grounded, personally empowered, and professionally equipped to step fully into their purpose.

Are you ready to partner in this mission? Let's build a legacy of confident, capable leaders—starting today.
