Ashley Grenstone | Ltd.: Q1 Update

On this day of love –February 14th, often celebrated as ‘Valentine’s Day– I’m happy to share that after a few years of working as a Senior Administrator with the incredible team at the CBC/Radio-Canada Indigenous Office, I’m thrilled to announce the revamp of the Ashley Grenstone website!

Now structured to serve a dual purpose, the site acts as both a landing page for those wanting to learn more about myself as a professional, artist and advocate; and, as a Nexus for my various small business ventures.

This update has been a long time coming, and there’s still more to do! That’s why I’m excited to share that I’ll be posting regular quarterly updates with news on all my latest projects.

The future looks bright—can’t wait to share the journey with you!
