Pierce Be With Us In This Climate

A Special Message From Our Founder

Those who know me well know that Succession is my favorite show. A drama filled with wealth, power, and complex family dynamics? You’d find me parked every Sunday at 8 PM with popcorn and an Olipop, ready to witness the chaos unfold. But Succession isn’t just a show; it’s a study in power—how it’s built, how it’s wielded, and how it ultimately corrodes those who chase it blindly.

At its center is the Roy family: Logan Roy, the formidable media tycoon, and his children, each grappling with their roles in his empire. Kendall Roy, the "eldest boy," longs so desperately for his father’s approval that he destroys himself and others in his pursuit of it. Logan, on the other hand, is consumed by an insatiable hunger for power—a desire to dominate and destroy, no matter the cost. They are, in many ways, the archetypes of the “new elite,” bulldozing tradition, discretion, and moral accountability in favor of dominance.

Logan represents the ethos of these modern powerbrokers: once the traditional values of restraint and responsibility are discarded, money and power become the sole determinants of nobility and heroism.

And yet, for all their bravado and ruthlessness, the Roys are brittle. Their self-serving goals, their disregard for humanity, their petty infighting—they're a house of cards, poised to collapse under the weight of their own ambition.

The Nan Pierce of It All

Enter the Pierce family, the foil to the Roys. In Succession, the Pierces are depicted as intellectual, old-money aristocrats with an air of moral superiority. They’re everything the Roys claim to despise: restrained, principled, and deeply connected to their legacy. And while the show portrays Nan Pierce and her family with its signature irony, it’s hard to deny the values they represent—values rooted in preservation, integrity, and a commitment to the greater good.

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t see a bit of myself in Nan Pierce. Her mission to uphold journalistic integrity and protect cultural heritage resonates deeply with my own vision for Orm Muse Collective. Like Nan, I believe in creating something that lasts—something that serves not just the powerful, but everyone.

In the midst of insecure, spiteful adversaries like the Roys, there is hope in the Pierces. I deeply believe in balance. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. And for every Logan Roy, there is a Nan Pierce, reigning supreme not through dominance, but through quiet, steady purpose.

Building What We Deserve

It’s easy to feel defeated in a world where Logans seem to win. Their greed and ruthlessness can make the rest of us feel like we’re playing a losing game. But I’ve never been one to back down from a challenge.

I founded Orm Muse Collective with the intent to build and preserve a world we all deserve to live in—one where stories are told, access to resources is democratized, and culture is created with care. It’s not about accumulating power for its own sake; it’s about using power to uplift, inspire, and leave a legacy that matters.

The Bigger Picture

Watching the 47th President take the oath of office, I was reminded of the deep contradictions in our society. A country built on the blood, sweat, and tears of immigrants and marginalized people now teeters on the edge of forgetting that history. But to me, loving America means refusing to let that legacy be erased. It means fighting for a future where those dreams can continue, where ambition doesn’t come at the expense of humanity.

That’s the lesson I take from Succession. For every Logan Roy consolidating power, there’s a Nan Pierce building something enduring. And for every moment of despair, there’s the opportunity to rise, to create, to resist.

Here’s to being the Nan Pierce in a world full of Logans. Let’s keep building.

With purpose and resolve,

Nina Founder & Creative Director
