We had the good fortune of connecting with Ashly Hendrick and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ashly, what led you to pursuing a creative path professionally?
I decided to pursue a creative career because I actually learned how to be true to myself. Although I am a problem solver and hold capacity to be logical, in my heart and bare essence, I am a creative. For as long as I can remember, anytime I’ve ever felt unfulfilled,depressed, bored or uninspired it was because I had stopped creating. Life can be as beautiful as you’ve decided it should be. Life has shown me that I have the ability to manifest great change through my faith and creative prowess. Life has also taught me that creativity is the link between humans and God. Every structure on earth that has helped advanced society came from someone’s God given creative vision. I vow to continue on with my understanding and to encourage, uplift and inspire others like me to do the same through my creative endeavors.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
For the past couple years I have been growing my community and understanding their needs so that I can better serve them. Through all my endeavors, I’d like to inspire and motivate people as well as to teach them how to solve their problems. I created my first business, EverBlessBeauty in 2019. This is a line of selfcare/bath products because I wanted people to feel good and smell amazing while using products that were actually beneficial to their skin. I had struggled with skin issues and lack of confidence earlier on in my life and I combatted that with self love. My favorite version of self love is a great spa day, and thus I created an in home spa day experience with my products and gave it to the public. With my new business, EverBlessEats, I hope to introduce people to a new style of cooking as well as to help people develop new skills in the kitchen while learning about Haitian cuisine. And with my person brand, EverBlessAsh, I’d like to make people laugh, and create amazing enjoyable content for people who want to do what I do to feel inspired and understand that you can make a brand out of yourself.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If my best friend were visiting me we’d go everywhere. I love trying new amazing restaurants, museums, spas, zoos etc but I also love comfortable activities too like movie nights, making charcuterie boards, paint and sips, bonfires, cooking, in home spa days.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
First and foremost I’d like to thank God. Through my faith I’ve been able to stay in line with my purpose and not to just follow what everyone else thinks I should do. I am almost certain that some of the ideas, business plans, and abilities that I have I’ve been blessed with. My path had lots of struggles but I’ve always been able to understand what life was either teaching me or preparing me for through all those hard times. I had to understand certain struggles to be able to go on and teach people how to overcome them. I’d also like to shout my mother out for being a great example to be regarding perseverance, determination and service. She went from being in poverty in a third world country to becoming the top 25% earners in this country. I am proud of her and I’m happy I’ve had an example of such excellence.
