The sign reads '9th International Day of Yoga,' with logos of sponsors and a colorful yoga-themed graphic. The event celebrates the International Day of Yoga with a backdrop of ancient stone structures and lush green trees under a bright blue sky.

Ashleie is currently completing her Master of Public Health in Urban Public Health at Rutgers University, along with a Maternal and Child Health Certificate. She is also a 1000-hour certified yoga educator with additional certifications in prenatal, postnatal, children’s, and restorative yoga — training that informs her understanding of regulation, embodiment, and sustainable leadership.

She is coauthor of Reconciliation: The Final Steps to Nonviolent Social Change( https://titles.cognella.com/reconciliation-9798823359757 ), addressing systems navigation and structural advocacy for marginalized families, and the forthcoming Black Girls Om Too, a culturally grounded work focused on healing, embodiment, and resource navigation for Black women and girls within maternal and community health systems.

At her core, Ashleie is a builder — designing programs and interventions from the ground up to shift generational trajectories and strengthen systems never designed for marginalized communities to thrive.
