Racial trauma is a collective wound and so is our healing.

Thank you for healing out loud with me.

Allow me to reintroduce myself 💜

I’m Ashley 👋🏾 trauma therapist, author, CEO, health chair, and advocate for culturally responsive mental health.

I founded the in an effort to make healing accessible for our community.

In my new book, I’m finally telling the story that’s lived in my bones for years, an honest look at racial trauma in our healthcare system and the courage it takes to heal anyway. I tell this through the lens of my grandmother’s life who died way too early as a result of systemic oppression.

If you’re new here, welcome 👋🏾 . If you’ve been here, I’m grateful you’re still walking with me. 🙏🏽

Karrie Jones deserved to be met with care.
She deserved to be believed the first time.
She deserved to be treated like her life mattered.
All Black women do.

Improving Black maternal health requires action at every level:
💜 More Black midwives, doulas, and providers
💜 Mandatory bias training for perinatal teams
💜 Funding community-led birthing spaces
💜 Accountability when neglect happens
💜 Support systems that protect Black mothers before, during, and after birth

What started as a personal mission to change the systems that were killing us has grown into a community movement The Therapy Fund Foundation.

This Giving Tuesday (12/2), we celebrate five years of breaking barriers to mental health care. Five years of advocacy, therapy, and collective healing.

Join us for our 5-Year Holiday Party, a night to reflect, reconnect, and recommit to the work ahead. 💛

Therapists are often celebrated for their strength but expected to struggle in silence.
I founded the Therapy Fund Foundation because I refused to accept a world where the people responsible for healing our communities are left without support themselves.

The truth is:
🖤 Therapists are not immune to the pain they hold
🖤 Burnout is not a personal failure, it’s evidence of a broken system
🖤 Community care must include the caregivers
As I write my upcoming book, The Cost of Healing in Silence, I’m sharing stories that have too long been hidden, the stories that remind us that healers are human. This work is an invitation for all of us to heal out loud.

To every therapist reading this:
🫶🏾 You deserve the same care you give
🫶🏾 You’re allowed to take up space
🫶🏾 Your healing matters too
Let’s build a future where supporting therapists isn’t optional, it’s essential to community wellness.

If you believe in this mission, share this post. Tag a therapist you love. And join us at our 5 year celebration party 12/2 in the movement to protect the healers.

I might be a Black girl who can’t dance, but I’m moving anyway... with kindness.
Kindness to myself when I try.
Kindness to others as we all find our rhythm.
Because trying is enough. 🤎

This Veterans Day, I honor my Uncle Wayne McGirt, a proud Black veteran who served in Vietnam and carried battles that didn’t end when he came home.

He survived the war, but not the silence that followed. Like so many Black veterans, he faced the weight of trauma without the care or community he deserved. His story is one of the many that inspired The Cost of Healing in Silence, and my life’s work through the

Healing begins when we name what we’ve carried in silence.
When we make space for our veterans, our families, and ourselves to rest, feel, and be whole.

My Uncle Wayne’s story reminds me why I do this work... so all veterans can heal out loud. 🤎

What happens when public feuds touch private lives especially children’s?
In a past viral exchange, autism became part of the conversation for all the wrong reasons. But here’s what we can do right: use it as an opportunity to learn, unlearn, and uplift.

As therapists, parents, and community members, we can shift this narrative by learning the facts:�
🧠 Autism is a spectrum.�
🗣️ Nonverbal doesn’t mean unintelligent.�
📚 Learning differences are not synonymous with autism.

Let’s choose understanding over assumption and compassion over clout.�Because every child deserves to be seen with dignity, not diagnosis-based shame.

Leading in the mental health space doesn’t make you immune to stress, it just makes you more aware of it.

These are 5 things I’ve learned about stress as a leader: lessons that remind me that regulation, rest, and boundaries are leadership skills.

The truth? You can’t lead others into healing if you’re constantly leading yourself into exhaustion.

💬 Tag another leader or founder who needs this reminder... especially the ones holding everything together with grace and grit.
