Ashley-Lauren Elrod is an actress, recording artist, intuitive guide, and founder of Visionary Woman Productions, where she merges storytelling, healing, and advocacy to create transformative art and impact. A survivor-turned-social impact leader, she redefines what it means to rise from trauma, weaving her seer gifts and board-certified mental health certification into her creative practice and client work.

​

Her artistry spans screen, stage, and sound. She has appeared in television projects such as FBI, performed as a recording artist with music featured on MTV, Viacom, and international projects, and partnered with global brands like Dove in an Emmy-nominated, Cannes-winning campaign addressing online safety for children and youth.

​

Ashley-Lauren also serves as an Advisory Board Member for the Chicago Children’s Advocacy Center, a Community Board Member for Brooklyn District 11, and a partner with the National Children’s Alliance. Through Visionary Woman Productions and initiatives such as Project CAN HOPE and her upcoming book The Diary of a Recovering Inner Child, she continues to build frameworks that protect, empower, and awaken.

​

At the heart of this vision is Maya’s Magic Word, Ashley-Lauren’s pioneering children’s book and educational framework. What began as a story to empower children around body autonomy has grown into the first early-childhood abuse prevention program of its kind. Partnering with organizations such as the Chicago Children’s Advocacy Center, Ashley-Lauren is developing Maya’s Magic Word into a national pilot program that equips families, educators, and advocacy professionals with trauma-informed tools and resources. The project bridges storytelling, live performance, and interactive curriculum to teach children ages 2–5 how to use their voice, trust their inner knowing, and stay safe, while training the adults around them to create environments of true protection and care.

​

Bridging art and spirit, Ashley-Lauren embodies a mission to transform survival into systems of freedom, guiding others to reclaim their voice, safety, and light.
