Meet the Authors
As reading tutors to elementary-aged students, the teens of Reach noticed that few children's books reflected their lived experience as youth of color. So they decided to take action and write their own. Now these D.C. teens are diversifying children's literature, one smart-fun-real-brave-bold story at a time.
Ashley attended Ballou Senior High School in DC when she authored her book. Her dream is to be a producer and an R&B singer and one day perform at the BET Awards. She is also a great athlete.
