Ashlee Raye
I am a Career Growth Strategist & the Founder of the Promote Yourself Mentorship Experience. I help
My name is Ashlee, and I'm a former professional athlete turned Executive Mentor. I have worked in Corporate America for over 13 years, and have 12 years of executive experience leading People & Business Operations. I started my career in leadership at the age of 24 as an Executive Director and growth throughout my career led me to be a Senior Executive Director, a Director of People & Operations,
Only 30 Days Left in 2021! 😳
I’m looking for 4 women who refuse to stay stuck in 2022 and want to grow their career in the next 6 months!
DM me “Let’s Get It!”
I Quit Code Switching!
For many years I would wake up as 1 Ashlee and walk into work as another Ashlee. Even though for most of my life I had been told “You’re not that black” or “I don’t really see you as black”, I still felt the need to hide my blackness and tone down who I am.
I’ve even gone so far as to pretend I like country music to fit in, knowing good and well I truly cannot stand country music! I’m a Hip Hop & R&B music lover to my core.
Many black people know this act of having to operate as 2 different people as “Code Switching”, and we do it for 2 reasons:
🔺To make white people at work feel safe
🔺To make white people at work feel comfortable
Blackness is often seen as both a threat and unprofessional in workspaces, and code switching is meant to keep us "safe".
Let me be the one to tell you... it's psychologically damaging!
It wasn’t until 2020 when the country was in a necessary uproar about the murders of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna Taylor that I realized I could no longer wake up and go to work as 2 different people.
There was a week in June last year where I felt this immense feeling of depression trying to fully show up at work while simultaneously trying to hide my emotions and fear. The weight I felt was intense and heavy.
I made a decision that my personal values and the values of companies I work for have to align moving forward. In addition, I could also no longer hide my Passion & Purpose of:
✅ Creating true, non-performative, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the workplace
✅ Increasing the representation of women in leadership by coaching on Mindset, Career Growth, and Wealth Building
✅ Closing pay wage gaps that so severely affect women and black and brown people
My years of leadership experience + the trauma of continuously being the token black woman on Leadership teams over the years has lead me here!
I'm excited to share more of myself, my thoughts, and my experiences on this platform with you all!
Along with many of you, I will be part of the change I want to see + be a voice for those who look like me.
Moving forward, I encourage every black person and person of color to do the following:
💎 Show up boldly and authentically as yourself
💎 Only work in spaces that share your personal values
💎 Only work in spaces that celebrate you, and leave spaces that merely tolerate you
Thanks for reading. These words feel a lot like freedom 😊
If this spoke to you today, drop a 🙌🏾 in the comments & let's connect!
DM me the word “Growth” to learn how you can walk in confidence & authenticity so that you can get promoted & paid in 2022.
Let’s do this.
Sending Love & Light ✨

STOP SETTLING FOR LESS…
If any of these apply to you, you’re settling for less than you deserve.
The thing is, we make so many excuses:
❇️ I don’t have time
❇️ I don’t have the money
❇️ I’m not ready
❇️ I’m scared
❇️ What if I fail?
Your goals don’t care about your excuses, Sis.
The only time these excuses overpower your action, is when the vision you have for life is too small.
In what ways are you settling in your career?

YOU DESERVE BETTER!
I mean it! Feeling stuck is normal. It often means we have outgrown our current situations. But staying stuck…
That’s a CHOICE!
Feeling stuck in your career feels like:
⛔️Feeling unmotivated
⛔️Settling for less than you deserve
⛔️Having the urge to quit every damn day
⛔️Wanting to quit but not knowing what direction to go in…
I’ve been there, Sis! The freedom I felt when I was able to dig myself out of the hole I was in…. 😩🙌🏾
Don’t worry. I got you boo! Right now you need:
❇️To be clear about what you want and need in your next role and in your career
❇️To be paid for your experience and education
❇️To finally he happy in a career and job that you enjoy!
You don’t have to be stuck for much longer. You can make a choice to get help, and I can help you.
DM me the word CAREER, and let’s talk about how I can help you live the life you deserve.

REMINDER: Your life is your choice…
Ever felt stuck in a job or at a company and felt like you couldn’t leave? Drop a ✋🏾 if you feel that now!
Guess what? It’s not that you’re stuck! It’s just that limiting beliefs have made you CHOOSE to stay stuck.
In reality, Sis, you hold the power to get yourself out of that situation!
Don’t know how? Seek out Mentorship!
Don’t have the money? Save up!
Don’t believe in yourself? Adjust Your Mindset!
