Monika: In today’s interview, I am excited to chat with the inspiring Ashley Anna Parks, an American transgender woman who transitioned at 65 and then embarked on a whole new career as an author. Through her company, Butterfly Discoveries, she has shared her unique perspective on life, love, and personal growth with the world.
In addition to her writing, Ashley worked as an assistant facilitator of transition support groups for two years with the LGBTQIA+ Center in Las Vegas, NV, where she supported others through their own journeys. Whether it’s her deeply personal memoir or her whimsical children’s coloring books, Ashley’s writing bridges generations and genders. Her work touches on themes of inclusion, connection, and transformation.
