“Orijin Untamed is a platform that essentially allows our lovely consumers to be able to unearth themselves and we are focused on music, arts, and spoken word. It’s important to highlight the areas we are focused on are very grey areas that nobody is really supporting in this country but Orijin as a brand is very original in the things we do hence venturing into these areas that are not really getting the support.”
