Welcome! I'm Ashley Ackerman-Groves, a vibrant mother, entrepreneur and author dedicating my work to parenthood and empowering young minds. Coining the clever title of "Mother Ducking Parent" for my overall brand, I aim to express the juxtapositon of the parenting journey. Motivated by my son and daughter, I instill self-confidence and educate my young audience while also providing guidance through personal experience that my older audience can relate to. My children's books, "Affirmations A to Z" and "Let's Get to Work from A to Z," are available now! A true Georgia peach, my upbringing in a melting pot of languages and cultures laid the foundation for my unique perspective. Traveling abroad fueled my adventurous spirit and writing journey which began as a personal challenge to overcome fear and embrace mistakes. The process from aspiring writer to published author is a testament of my perseverance and self-discovery. In my free time, I enjoy family time, the outdoors, sitting in a car wash and daydreaming about the future.
