Shelicia Ashton
Director Community Events & Engagement-TX
My name is Shelicia Henderson, and I reside in Arlington TX. I’m currently in my final year of college with a BA in Early Childhood Education. My dream is to eventually open a daycare, so that I can use my degree while still being an entrepreneur. I believe that my biggest accomplishment thus far has been motherhood. God has given me strength, patience, and faith when it comes to my two children, Kaleb (4) and Kaylie (1). God has always been the center of my life, growing up being a pastors kid we were always active in church. From Bible study, to choir practice, and Sunday morning services, participating in church activities was something I was exclusively doing. Another one of my interests is be a philanthropist. I enjoy giving back to the community and helping those in need to create a better world.
