"It's time we flip the script of a painful diagnosis of gender dysphoria. I choose a new narrative: the pursuit of aligning my mind, body, and spirit to reach a state of Gender YOUphoria".
"God loves transgender people unconditionally. There is nothing that transgender people are doing that makes them any less worthy of divine, unconditional love".

Transgender people are deliberately alienated from their spirituality and their ability to use the body as a tool for emotional self regulation. I'm here to change that.
​
YOU have permission to access the inner resources of joy, peace and stillness regardless of what point you are in your physical transition. Sustainable happiness is your birthright, but it takes time.
Cultivating these skills now allows you to more fully experience the fruits of gender transition later.
We hosted Ashton for a workshop on navigating the healthcare system while trans. Being a company that focuses on inclusive healthcare, it is extremely important for our employees to understand the specific experiences on trans people in the healthcare system. Ashton did an incredible job of leading the workshop with humor, engagement, and mindfulness. Ashton also did a fantastic job of opening the session to questions and was extremely open and thoughtful when answering them. Many employees said that the workshop was a highlight of their time at our company, and I can't recommend Ashton enough!

"Ashton and his advocacy for transgender people and their collective rights, was inspiring to see. It reaffirmed my commitment to being an advocate alongside him. He was incredibly vulnerable in sharing his own struggles with his transition and it was apparent many people in the room were surprised to hear a lot of the struggles he has faced, struggles that cisgender people often take for granted in not having to experience. He was open and transparent in his communication and was willing to answer any questions people had that they may have otherwise been unwilling to ask previously. I commend Ashton for his willingness to talk openly about this topic and I can only hope the attendees walked away with a better, more holistic perspective on transgender people and the rights they are owed."

As we were launching Pride Fund 1 (The first venture fund focused on supporting the LGBTQ+ Community) We knew that teaching our entire team about gender communication was a priority and recognized that we needed help to become better gender allies, advocates, and true accomplices. For this, we knew to call Ashton Colby. We had high standards and Ashton exceeded all of them. We are better partners, investors, and people because of our work with him.

"I invited Ashton Colby to participate in the NYU LGBTQ Student Center's Trans and Social Media event. Through a cross-platform discussion, Ashton shared his unique and powerful experiences - both online and offline - in a relatable way that resonated with many students. Ashton was great to work with from start to finish and continues to do meaningful work in our communities. A great colleague, speaker, and person!"

"Ashton is one of a kind. I saw him speak twice at the Unversity of Dayton. He speaks straight from the heart. He is an inspriation to all who have heard him speak. His story is not an easy one to share. Ashton has couragously shared his experience so that others in a similar situation can find hope. I am truly blessed to know Ashton and pray that others are able to be inspired by him".

"Ashton's public speaking is moving and personal, emotional and touching while being easygoing. I've been lucky enough to see him speak and experience his story. I am in awe of the healing and outreach he does. To be told a story that is important to take care of yourself is an honor and a joy".
