A single conversation with a student peer while in Undergrad led Ashlee to the internship of a lifetime with NBA star, LeBron James. Her connection to "King James" opened doors in New York City rising from Executive Assistant to Director of Events, producing for A-Listers like Oprah Winfrey, Leonardo DiCaprio and Jay-Z all by age 26. When Ashlee's time in NYC began to expire and her new life as a tech entrepreneur began to take shape she talks risking it all, the life she built, while hustling to keep her venture afloat while also battling depression. This is a story of unrelenting hustle while breaking barriers and starting the path toward her life's greatest work - Mixtroz. When Ashlee started in tech, she was known as a "Quad Outsider" (Black, Female, Non-Technical, Tech Founder) today, She is Ashlee Ammons, 38th Black Female Tech Founder to Raise $1M in funding (the 37th is her Mom and Co-Founder), President at Mixtroz, Inclusion Activist and Nasty Woman.
This extraordinary story engages the audience to realize the power of physical connection in a digital world and inspires attendees to "use the skills that they have today to build the life that they want tomorrow".
This 45-min keynote pairs well with a Mixtroz 'mix' where your attendees will use the technology that Ashlee outlines in the talk, move from their phone to face-to-face in real time increasing their engagement, kicking off the connection and collecting valuable data for you.
