A nonprofit advocating for the inner child of the next generation~
helping young leaders, entrepreneurs, and creatives in the hood identify their superpowers and build a quality life.
At Ashley B. Childhood Advocate, our mission is to guide the next generation from the hood to recognize their superpowers, build a quality life, and transform their communities from the inside out.”
Create thriving spaces where the next generation reconnects with their inner child, heals, and remembers their gifts. Through mentorship, community investment, and seed funding, we develop their leadership and entrepreneurial skills — and we invest in their ideas so they can build stronger neighborhoods and create generational wealth.
“YOUTH IS TRUTH.”
– Ashley B. childHOOD Advocate

One of the greatest questions one can be asked is, "Who are you?"
"I AM" is a powerful spell that you cast onto yourself — one that will forever evolve.
My intention is to always speak highly of myself, to shine the light within, and inspire others to do the same.
Ashley B. is powerful. Everything I touch grows abundantly. I am a creator of my reality. A born diplomat. My passion to share my superpowers is a beautiful art.
A mother to three beautiful children. A spiritual godmother to many. I use my superpowers — which is simply being myself — to guide all who I come into contact with to gain introspection of self.
An author of a dope children's book. More to come. A leader inspiring others to be leaders. One of Cleveland, Ohio's finest and most faithful youth advocates. A philanthropist at heart — investing in our youth's future, tapping into one inner child at a time.
The more we all know of self, the stronger the world will be.
Magical. XOXO, Ashley B.

HOODTANK is more than a program — it’s a game show, a competition, and most importantly, armor for the HOOD.
Our mission is to invest in the next generation of entrepreneurs, creators, and leaders by transforming raw talent, lived experience, and survival skills into strong, lasting foundations for success.
The HOOD isn’t just a place — it’s an energy, a culture, and a community. It teaches resilience, sparks creativity, and pushes people to make something out of nothing every single day. Some of the world’s most innovative and resourceful minds come from these environments. HOODTANK exists to take that brilliance and channel it into opportunity, ownership, leadership, and legacy.
This platform is for creators, visionaries, leaders, and entrepreneurs who believe in building networks, sharing knowledge, and using what they have to create what they need — not only for themselves, but for their communities and future generations.
There is no gatekeeping here.
Only collaboration, education, empowerment, and passing the baton to the next wave of innovators.
Now, we’re looking for OGs to help lead the movement.
If you are a business owner, entrepreneur, creative, community leader, investor, mentor, or someone with real-life experience and wisdom to share, we invite you to apply as an OG Judge for Season 2 of HOODTANK.
As an OG Judge, you’ll help guide, encourage, and invest in rising talent while helping contestants turn survival mode into success mode.
HOODTANK is your armor.
Your platform.
Your opportunity to help build legacy and change lives.
