Wait a minute man, what you trippin’ for? | Ashly Eli | TEDxWashingtonCorrectionsCenterforWomen 2015

This speaker believes we can change our world by moving beyond our masks and talking about peaceful resolutions. Ashly acknowledges violence is never the answer. Born in Butte, Montana, I was a “Cinderella” child, caring for my siblings and household chores. At age 14 and 18, it was fun to be Mommy, but difficult to be a teenager. We did well and purchased our first home, yet I ran from my problems. My life motto was optimism. I live spiritually and morally, working hard. My goal is to persevere in helping all.
