Welcome!
I am a resiliency activator, motivational speaker, mental health aficionado, content creator, sexual health lover, and gratitude filled young woman. I’m originally from NYC, a Queen from Queens to be exact.
Don't Die Afraid was born in 2014 as my birthday gift to myself. I was depressed because I didn't land my "big journalism dream job", so instead I created my own platform to inspire others to live a resilient life as I embarked on trying to embrace my journey as well.
Don't Die Afraid empowers individuals to realize that their circumstances don't hinder their future. They are stepping stones to success to reveal how resilient a person truly is.
A sought-after speaker and host Ashley leverages her background in communications and public health to present on topics related to mental health, resilience, wellness, blogging, and sexual education.
People who support me are affectionately known as my Resilient Family. They receive love letters from me twice a month and have access to a look behind the scenes. I love connecting with you all on a personal level.
“Sometimes I don't feel as confident as I would like to. However, when I saw how Ashley portrayed and carried herself, it made me think that I could have confidence as well if I learn to love myself more!”
