Ashley L. (AKA Ash) is the founder of Atheeni Co., a faith-centered candle company that creates intentional moments where people can become more aware of God’s presence in everyday life. She is also a wife and mother of two.

As a former participant of the Jason Taylor Reading Room, Ashley is grateful for the opportunity to give back to a program that helped shape her during her middle school years. The discipline, structure, encouragement, and confidence she gained continues to influence her journey today.

Ashley hopes this fundraiser helps provide those same opportunities for the next generation, inspiring young people to believe in themselves, pursue their dreams with confidence, and be surrounded by mentors who will encourage them every step of the way.
