Ashia Wilson is a mother and an author of Back in my Day, as well as a podcast host of Let the Healing Begin Podcast, faith-based clothing brand owner of Greater Growth, LLC, and dedicated advocate for returning citizens and unhoused individuals. Originating from Lansing, Michigan, she embarked on her advocacy journey in 2022 with Nation Outside. This grassroots organization, led by formerly incarcerated individuals, works tirelessly to remove barriers for returning citizens across Michigan.

Her commitment to service led her to the role of Program Coordinator for Northwest Initiative, providing crucial wraparound services for probationers and parolees. Today, she is the Manager of Authentic Engagement for the Michigan Coalition Against Homelessness. In this role, she strives to diversify partnerships, develop programs, and amplify the stories and experiences of those who have lived through homelessness. Her influence extends to the Michigan Homeless Policy Council, where she serves diligently.

She leverages her life experiences to give a voice to the voiceless, acting as an agent of change for those affected by the system. Her core belief is that everyone deserves a second chance, a principle that guides her in her impactful work.
