The vision of Graced Ashes Inc is to be a premier service organization that supports youth and
young adults while providing a safe, nurturing environment for them too see themselves as valuable,useful and develop healthy, fulfilling, and purposeful lives.
Growing up I knew when I became an adult that I wanted to be for others what I needed growing up. Graced Ashes was birthed April 2014. It started as a blog to encourage others. Over the next two years I would assist different organizations and families with school clothes and school supplies. July 8, 2016 Graced Ashes Inc officially became a Nonprofit Corporation in the state of Texas. Graced Ashes Inc is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization devoted to equipping our youth and young adults with the tools they need to fulfill their PURPOSE! This organization endeavors to provide a positive impact within the community, online, across the world, and in/throughout the lives of others we encounter.
On the 3rd day of April 1988, the prodigy known as Ashley Nichole Hogans was born. She was born in Pensacola, Florida, while being raised in DeFuniak Spring, Florida. Uniquely athletic, and high skilled in the sports arena, Ashley competed and excelled in basketball, volleyball, track, and softball.
​
She began officially following the Christian faith in the years of the new millennium. Soon thereafter, she began serving her local church as a praise and worship leader, only to be eventually licensed as a minister in 2009. In 2014, Ashley completed her Associate's Degree of Applied Science in Administrative Management Studies and Bachelor of Science in Psychology: Christian Counseling in July 2019. Ashley is also a Whole Health Coach, Transformational Coach, Mental Health Coach, and Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST) Trainer.

It is easy to fix your mind on what fell apart last year, but in that raw reflection, be gentle with your story, knowing that through everything that did or did not happen, the pieces will still come together and you will look back and see, after everything, you now have strength to carry on. – Morgan Harper Nichols
