Her goal was to empower female students of marginalized groups to help them find their voice and realize their potential through mentorship, sisterhood and community service. Throughout Ashley's project, this national speech and debate competitor trained mentees and wrote a guide that focused on public speaking, social and emotional awareness and leadership. Among the issues discussed: imposter syndrome, planning and achieving goals and the importance of sisterhood and empowerment.

At the Eye Opener Missionary Ministry’s youth group in Opa-locka, he taught performing arts as an outlet for self-expression. At one point during the pandemic, Joshua partnered with his Krop drama teacher to teach choreography over Zoom and Instagram Live to more than 500 people, with a focus on staying physically active and connecting with others.
