While he lived only 43 short years, Chadwick Boseman’s impact will be remembered forever.
Chadwick was the man chosen to bring to life the first Black superhero in US comic book history, the Black Panther.
Along with the other members of the predominantly Black cast and crew of “Black Panther” (2018), Chadwick was part of the first superhero movie to be nominated for a best picture Oscar. He was also the first Black performer ever nominated posthumously for an Oscar, for his work in “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” directed by Denzel Washington.
When Chadwick passed away unexpectedly of colorectal cancer in 2020, the world lost not only their Black Panther, but also a talented actor, role model, and trailblazer.

Ashley is also a long-time lover of all things theatre and in the spring of 2014, she helped found and became the Vice-President of the theatre company, “The Theatre Downstream.” Their first large scale summer musical, “Beauty and the Beast” was awarded Best Musical (Local), Best Actor in a Musical (Local), Best Actress in a Musical (Local), and Best Set Design by the BroadwayWorld Louisville awards in 2016, and their 2017 production of "Annie" sold over 2,100 tickets, a company record-breaking number!
No matter what the project, Ashley is happiest when she is able to bring talented people and their art together for the consumption and appreciation of the public. While her taste remains vintage, she is grateful for the technology of the modern world and the opportunity to share her thoughts, aspirations, and misadventures.
Her lofty dreams are to create things that people remember and to one day own an alpaca. Above all, she loves God, her family, her friends, her cats, and brownies.
