Today, we’d like to introduce you to Ashley Steele . Ashley was introduced to us by the brilliant and talented Mr Robert Parker.
Ashley , can you walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
The heart of my mission was birthed when I first laid eyes on my princess after delivery. The moment we made eye contact for the first time, I promised my little girl that I would find a way to give her the tools she needed for success. As soon I was healed enough from the birthing process, I started to research ways to be able to further my education, and become self-sufficient again. I was blessed with an opportunity to join an educational program offered through TANF at my local DHS. Through the TANF program called “FOCUS”I was linked with an amazing set of mentors Mrs. Holloway and Mrs. Heather who were able to help me pay off my previous school balance, and help me re-enroll in college. During this time I worked hard on my degree plan to becoming a counselor, and I sought out other opportunities to help me learn how to network, set healthy boundaries, learn how to shed the poverty mindset, and began to build the foundation for the legacy I knew I needed to pass to my princess. I am forever thankful to the programs that helped me in my personal development during this journey: TANF, FOCUS, Housing Assistance, Work Force of Oklahoma, and Bridges Out of Poverty. Participating in these programs provided me with the time and support I needed to spend time working on the inside of me. Working on me was not limited to just monetary or materialistic gain. I was receiving health diagnosis back to back from high blood pressure, obesity, high blood sugar, and more. My doctor was also continuously expressing concerns for my health given my family medical history in these areas as well. I knew I couldn’t afford to continue to allow my health to continue down this destructive path. Who would be here to love my princess the way that I love her? That was all the motivation it took to start researching different ways to improve my quality of life. I came across all of these wonderful alkaline herbs, sea moss, and natural ways of meeting my health needs, and started understanding my mind, body, and soul even the more. One year later, 100 pounds lighter, and a handshake from my doctor sealed the deal for me. After realizing how these consistent changes over time helped me evolve from the inside out, there was no way I could continue living life without sharing what worked for me with the rest of the world. Since then, I have finished college with my Master’s of Science in Counseling. I am working towards finishing my supervision hours to become a fully licensed LPC. I have published a self care book titled “30 Ways to Say I Love You. The Journey Starts Within.” available on Amazon. I became a certified Life Coach. I have also been blessed to be able to shed all forms of government assistance. I have taken all of these steps to find ways to share my tools with someone else that may be starting their journey to success, If I can encourage even one person and motivate them to accomplish their dream whether it be health, educational, wealth, or just staying alive one more day, then my journey was not in vain.

Mr Robert Parker and Famo Nation Forever have been great to us and I know you’ve got a great relationship with them as well. Maybe you can tell our audience a bit about Mr Robert Parker and Famo Nation Forever and your experience with them.
Mr. Robert has been super supportive since the day I first met him. He even made time after working all day to attend my very first Vendors & Vibes Showcase to show his support. He goes out of his way to utilize the platform he has built to uplift the overlooked. Mr. Robert speaks out against the unjust, and fights hard for the underdogs within the communities he serves. Mr. Robert has always been respectful, a man of his word, and never afraid to speak up for those who may not have found their voice just yet. Mr. Robert and the entire Famo Nation Forever will also have a special place in my heart.
