In the spring of 2018, Ashli would meet the man who would change her life forever. As she slowly sauntered into her place of work, she came across Mashaun and looked curiously and eagerly into his eyes. She didn’t know it then, but standing before her was the man who would become her greatest challenge and unexpected blessing! From that moment on, things would never be the same. From that moment on, they would both embark upon a journey that would birth dream fulfilling opportunities. In that moment, B4Nine was born.
We like to say that B4Nine is all the things! What does that mean? It’s pretty simple. We are both complicated, but not so complicated, creatives with opinions and perspectives that are unique and often shared by others afraid to express their points-of-view. We are both unapologetically Black and are not afraid to share our opinions and perspectives about all things Blackness, popular culture, relationships, sex, and identity.
