About Me

My name is Ashley, a woman, a mom, and a storyteller learning how to breathe again while still holding it all together. Maisha Safari means “life journey,” and that is exactly what this space is. It holds the healing, the humor, the motherhood, and the pages that helped me find my way back to myself.

I wrote Dear Me: A Journal for the Girl Who Keeps Holding It Together because for years I needed a safe space, not to be perfect, but to be honest. This journal isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about finally hearing yourself.
