Meet Ashro Woman of the Week, Carolyn from Jacksonville Florida

  • Ashro Woman of the Week, Carolyn, a black woman wearing a red and blue print dress on the deck of a ship.

This lovely pastor is married to a Bishop! She credits her husband as her biggest influence, “He has pushed me and always encouraged me to be all that God desires for me to be.”

As a patient accounts representative at a hospital, she helps, listens and encourages patients. As a mother, she strives “To be an example. To not judge my children, but to always love them, to encourage them and to let them know that I am so proud of them.”

For Carolyn, faith is what gives life substance. “Faith is what keeps me hoping and not giving up.” Carolyn also enjoys sewing, watching movies and FASHION. “When I put an outfit on, I own it, and I embrace it!”

My husband has been my greatest influence. He has pushed me and always encouraged me to be all that God desires for me to be.

No I’m not but my oldest daughter is AKA. I’m proud of her that she choose to be a part of the Sorority. I really have not had a lot of time to think about it, but if she is happy with it, then I’m happy for her.

16. How would you describe the Ashro woman? How do you embody her? Does the brand mean something to you? Any memories associated with the catalog?

Ashro women is awesome. Years ago I would get the catalog in the mail and I would only dream about being able to purchase something from the book, but one day I placed an order and after that it was history! The Ashro woman is amazing! I never thought much about the brand .

Thanks for inspiring us, Pastor Carolyn!
