God, Boundaries & Career Pivots – Ashley Flete on What It Took to Get Here (Part 2)
We’re back with Part 2 of our conversation with Dominicana, entrepreneur, and mother Ashley Flete — and this time, we’re talking about strength, purpose, and doing it scared.
Ashley walks us through her career journey, from working as a news anchor to suing her former employer in a class action lawsuit — and how that moment of risk opened the door for so many others. We also get into spiritual growth, being used as a vessel, her connection to FAMU, and what “redefining strength” really means.
This one will leave you empowered, emotional, and feeling like healing really is possible.
🎧 Available now on Spotify, Apple & YouTube.
