Book IWD Speaker: Ashley Maria

This filmmaker inspires audiences around the world!

Having an award-winning filmmaker at your event is invaluable!

Ashley is a presenter who employs a story-driven approach, combining excerpts from her films with personal insights to engage and encourage audiences. (this means that audiences will NOT be required to have seen her films prior to her presentation)

Her film Pioneers in Skirts is often featured by many organizations during International Women's Day. It follows Ashley's personal journey to find out why careers are much more complicated and difficult when a woman tries to have one. Through a series of personal stories and interviews, the documentary sheds light on how seemingly minor slights and biases can accumulate over time, leading women to doubt themselves or feel like they should “re-think” their dreams.
