My sister, my best friend, my world. Though I had been a reader longer, Ashley became an author before me. I had always dreamed of writing and publishing a book, but fear held me back. Watching her pursue that dream gave me the courage to pursue mine. With her encouragement, I published my first novel in 2022, and she was beside me every step of the way.
Ashley designed every book cover and graphic for me, always reminding me not to rush her. She was a creator who was sensitive about her sh*t and perfected it. My sister believed in me during the moments I struggled to believe in myself. When we started BriAsh Media together, we shared a vision of building something meaningful while helping others bring their creative ideas to life.
Life without Ashley feels impossible to imagine, but I will keep moving forward, honoring her, and continuing what we started. BriAsh Media will always be part of the legacy we built together, and I will do everything I can to make her proud.
