About three years ago, Ashley was beginning to look for ways to lose weight yet again. This time it was for her sister’s upcoming wedding and unlike previous attempts to shed the weight, she decided to do what she does best; research.  So instead of following advice from doctors, who were telling her to restrict calories, eat meat, and to take a popular weight-loss drug called phentermine, Ashley did the exact opposite. She went 100% raw vegan overnight and it changed her life.

Ashley’s weight-loss story has been recognized and shared a multitude of times over various social media platforms such as ForksOverKnives.com, Mercy for Animals, BlackWomenLosingWeight.com, and so much more. Ashley was also featured on the front cover of PEOPLE Magazine for the “Half Their Size” issue where her raw food journey was featured nationwide.
