Ashanti

Blue Banner Biographies

by Jennifer M. Torres

Sometimes all it takes is one person who really believes in you. For Ashanti Douglas, that person was her mother Tina. It was her mothers strong faith in her daughters talent that led Ashanti Douglas down a hard and often frustrating road to finally find success as a singer. Coming from a family of talented performers, Ashanti was always comfortable in the spotlight. Her parents often found her singing and dancing around the house and one day her mother realized Ashanti had a real talent. With the support of her driven mother, Ashanti made the decision to try and make the big time. But several set backs almost made the young entertainer give up her dream forever. But Ashanti wasnt raised to be a quitter. Now with three albums under her belt and a slew of music awards, Ashanti is thankful her family taught her never to give up on her dreams.
