In her powerful sit-down on the Women of TmrO Podcast, Ashlee Muhammad offers a raw, insightful, and deeply affirming conversation that touches on love, legacy, identity, healing, and financial empowerment. The original intention of Women of TmrO was to uplift the voices of women whose stories are often unheard—and Ashlee’s truth embodies that mission entirely.
A proud Harlem native, Ashlee explores what it means to be a Black woman today—navigating marriage, motherhood, generational trauma, and success. She holds nothing back while offering wisdom on topics many women are still working through silently.
Redefining the Black Family Narrative
Ashlee and her husband are committed to shifting the harmful narratives around the Black family. In their lives and work, they lead by example—highlighting the power of healthy Black love and authentic partnership. She debunks the myth that Black men don't marry Black women by citing that 80% do, affirming that it’s the visibility of these relationships—not their existence—that’s missing from the mainstream.
Authentic Love and Evolving Together
With over a decade together and eight years married, Ashlee says her greatest gift in marriage is the freedom to be fully herself—soft, angry, emotional, or strong. She credits pre-marital counseling and radical honesty for helping their bond grow deeper. She reminds us that people don’t have to be “healed” to be worthy of love, and that a strong relationship can be the place where real healing begins.
Healing, Accountability, and Self-Worth
Ashlee's transparency about surviving domestic violence makes space for other women to feel seen and heard. She describes the path to healing as layered—but possible. Calling herself an “insecurity disruptor,” Ashlee challenges women to view jealousy as a divine nudge toward their potential, not a sign of lack. For her, accountability is the highest form of self-love.
Parenting in a New Era
Raised by her grandmother in Harlem, Ashlee brings both grit and grace to her parenting style today. She speaks candidly about learning to balance protecting her children and preparing them for the real world. Her philosophy? Be stern but kind. She believes kids should feel safe—but also resilient enough to navigate their own journeys.
Black Women Deserve Abundance
Ashlee doesn't mince words when it comes to Black women and money: “We deserve all of it—without apology.” She believes that when Black women are not stuck in survival mode, they unlock their highest creative and spiritual selves. She champions financial empowerment as a tool not just for freedom, but for legacy building and generational healing.
On Community and Collaboration
Ashlee’s message is rooted in unity and love. She advocates for women supporting women, for spending money within the community, and for celebrating Black womanhood without needing to explain or defend it. For her, success isn’t about outperforming—it’s about rising together.
Ashlee’s story is a masterclass in evolution—proof that pain can be transformed into purpose, and that every woman has the right to love, rest, lead, and rise.
