Ashley Rhodes-Courter Biography
Ashley Rhodes-Courter is a symbol of resilience, using her life story to inspire audiences globally to advocate for change and embrace personal growth. From delivering her first national keynote at the age of 14 to engaging audiences across the United States and in over seven countries, her journey exemplifies strength and purpose.
Rhodes-Courter was born into difficult circumstances in 1985 and spent nearly a decade navigating the challenges of Florida’s foster care system. Despite enduring years of instability and hardship, she held onto her education as a vital sanctuary, recognizing it as something irrevocably hers. This commitment to education was a cornerstone that later supported her advocacy efforts.
Her academic achievements led to receiving the full-tuition Trustee Scholarship from Eckerd College, where she excelled and graduated with honors, earning a double major in communications and theater, and double minors in political science and psychology. Recognized as one of GLAMOUR magazine’s Top Ten College Women and a member of the USA Today All-USA Academic Team, her advocacy efforts were further highlighted when she was featured on 25 million bags of Cool Ranch Doritos as part of a campaign recognizing outstanding advocacy for community change.
Rhodes-Courter's literary career began when she was named a New York Times bestselling author at 22 with her memoir “Three Little Words,” an international bestseller that is currently being adapted into a major motion picture. Her follow-up, “Three More Words,” also captured widespread attention, debuting at #1 on Amazon’s bestseller list. She has authored a children's book titled "Sam Is My Sister," which addresses affirming a sibling's gender identity.
With numerous accolades for her speaking, advocacy, and philanthropy, including invitations to speak on Capitol Hill and visits to the White House, Rhodes-Courter continues to influence and inspire. She is also a committed child welfare activist, a licensed foster parent who, along with her husband, has cared for over 25 children, and she heads a non-profit organization aimed at supporting communities and families. Her story and speaking topics often emphasize overcoming adversity, the importance of education, and the transformative power of resilience.
