Chosen: The Story of Quiyon Board
Some people are born into opportunity. Others have to fight for every inch of it.
Quiyon Board knows what it’s like to come from nothing. He knows what it’s like to struggle with poverty, face homelessness, battle addiction, and endure seasons where it felt like life was determined to break him. There were moments when the future seemed uncertain and moments when giving up would have been the easier path.
But Quiyon’s story is not one of defeat.
It’s a story of perseverance. A story of faith. A story of redemption.
Through every setback, Quiyon continued moving forward. As he worked to rebuild his life, he discovered something unexpected in the world of fragrance. What began as an interest became a source of confidence, self-expression, and healing. Fragrance wasn’t just something he wore—it became part of his personal transformation.
Over time, Quiyon built a presence within the fragrance community, sharing his passion with others and connecting with people who appreciated authenticity over perfection. His story resonated because it was real. He wasn’t pretending to have all the answers. He was simply living proof that your past does not have to define your future.
When the opportunity arose to create his own fragrance brand through the Roma Creator Series, the decision was about much more than perfume.
For Quiyon, this was about legacy.
“This is bigger than just fragrance for me,” he explains. “This is about purpose and proving that where you start does not have to be where you finish.”
That vision became Chosen by Roma Parfum & QB.
The name carries deep meaning. For Quiyon, being chosen isn’t about status, popularity, or success. It’s about understanding that even during life’s darkest moments, God never abandoned him. It’s about recognizing that every trial, every setback, and every victory helped shape the person he was becoming.
Chosen represents resilience.
It represents redemption.
It represents the belief that no matter where someone comes from, they can rise above their circumstances and build a meaningful life.
Today, Quiyon hopes his story inspires others who may be facing struggles of their own. Whether it’s addiction, poverty, self-doubt, or simply feeling stuck, his message remains the same: your current situation does not determine your destiny.
Through faith, perseverance, and a willingness to keep moving forward, transformation is possible.
As part of The Roma Collective, Quiyon joins a growing group of creators using fragrance as a platform for storytelling, entrepreneurship, and inspiration. Yet his mission extends far beyond creating a great scent. His goal is to remind people that hope is real, that purpose can be found in pain, and that every person has the potential to become something greater than their circumstances.
Chosen by Roma Parfum & QB is more than a fragrance.
It is a testimony.
And Quiyon Board is living proof that sometimes the people who feel forgotten by the world are the very ones chosen for something greater.
