This episode of Ask Ashley: The Podcast is brought to you by FORD. Breaking the mold, strengthening community, creating change, real stories brought to you by Ford.

Ashley + Ashley are back in the studio this week with their first guest of Season 3, friend, mom, wife, and CEO & Founder of Curl of Art, Artiera Hickman. This week, they’re discussing childhood nostalgia, navigating friendships as adults, and becoming first-time entrepreneurs.

01:07 - They say music is good for the soul at every age, but what about the lyrics? Sometimes they need to come with their own parental advisory. Artiera gets dragged into one of The Ashley’s nostalgic music deep dives but she loves it there!

05:09 - Ms. PG County herself clarifies what's in a name and gives a quick history lesson on Pretty Girl County. All three of the women connect on their mother’s love for the Kennedys and Princess Diana.

12:37 - From A-cups to 10-year check ups, The fake titty committee bonds over everything from silicon warranties to the importance of creating safe spaces where friends can talk about it all. There is a thin line between privacy and being open, but sometimes you have to learn that lesson the hard way.

17:22 - Head over to Artiera’s page and then your mutuals. You’re bound to find someone you know. She’s a friendly girl but what does that really mean? The ladies dive deep into the importance of refining your inner circle, what it means to keep and share secrets, and why you should use social media to connect with other women for friendships AND business.

30:31 - Meet Curl Of Art, a two-part system for natural hair types meant to flip the current meaning of “Wash Day” upside down. However, when Artiera started Curl Of Art during the Pandemic, she had no idea she would also be turning into the chemist, the marketer, the saleswoman, and every other role necessary to bring her baby to life. This honest conversation about the struggles and sisterhood of entrepreneurship is good for the soul.
