Hi! My name is Ashley Ware Jenkins. I am a multi-hyphenate artist originally from Washington DC. I hold a Bachelors of Science in Sociology from Shenandoah University. I’m an alum of The Stella Adler Studio of Acting (Summer Conservatory), and have also studied in the private studios of Prof.Vera J. Katz, and Chantal Jean-Pierre. 

As an NYC-based actor/singer. I’ve done two tours (Lion King-Gazelle Company, The Color Purple), Broadway (Lion King), + many regional shows, readings, world-premieres along the way.

The films I write are based in science fiction, fantasy, and the void genre of black love stories, respectively. My creative work is informed by all that I am: a black person, a woman who aims to champion for ALL womxn, a mother + a wife.

I have over 10 years of experience as a teaching artist and have taught at various institutions such as the Harlem School of the Arts. The Kennedy Center, Duke Ellington School of the Arts, and many more.

In all mediums, It is with joy and intention that I insert my personal brand of vulnerability, transformation, resilience, and authority.
