My Background
Personal Profile
Hiya Love!
Professionally speaking, I am Dr. Ashley Nash; however, my loves call me Nash, so feel free to use either. I am a licensed clinical mental health professional, published author, professor, and Black girl creative, but before growing my CV, I became a survivor. My history involves childhood sexual assault, neglect, abandonment, low self-esteem, and multiple suicide attempts. For decades, I questioned my pain and worth and have repurposed that pain into my calling. Trauma; Thrived is a declaration of my goal to assist Black women in thriving outside of the trauma we often face.
Trauma; Thrived offers various tools and platforms to connect you with your purpose, so welcome, and I hope this helps. <3
