About

It all started when…

My very African American mother took 4-year-old Ashley into the local elementary school placed a random business memo in front of my face and made me read the first few paragraphs to the school’s principal, because her baby wasn’t waiting another school year to turn 5 and start kindergarten…she was going to school today.

For as long as I’ve remembered I’ve always loved books, words, writing, and more importantly…being heard. More often than not, I write to process—emotions and feelings, happenings in the world around me, and other existential thoughts.

I can’t say yet all that’ll come of this, but I’m glad you’re here to join me along the journey.

With love,

Ashley J.
