Burn Bright, Not Out: A Wellness Campaign

Hi, I’m Ashley Burton-Mims, founder of Emerald & Rose Consulting. I created this company not because it was trendy—but because I needed it, and it didn’t exist.

After years in corporate America managing billion-dollar businesses—and silently battling burnout—I had a breakdown that changed everything. I realized I wasn’t alone, and I didn’t want others to suffer in silence the way I had.

Emerald & Rose Consulting helps women and gender-expansive people of color burn bright, not out. We lead healing-centered workshops, coaching, and community gatherings that center rest, joy, and sustainable leadership.

Our work lives at the intersection of wellness and leadership. We’re building a future where Black women and gender expansive people of color feel empowered—not exhausted—when they walk into a room.

We’ve hosted dozens of sessions, collaborated with organizations like Zora’s House and Bamboo Detroit—and most importantly, we’ve built trust with our community. From senior leaders to stay-at-home moms, people leave our sessions feeling seen, grounded, and equipped to set boundaries with confidence.

Here’s the problem:

36% of Black women have left jobs due to feeling unsafe, and nearly half of all women globally report struggling with their mental health. And yet –most wellness solutions weren’t created with us in mind. 

That’s where we come in. 

We’re raising $10,000 to:

• Offer more free and low-cost workshops for those who need it most
  
   
• Hire a virtual assistant so we can scale sustainably
  
   
• Complete certifications in trauma-informed care and somatics
  
   
• Partner with community organizations nationwide to expand our impact
  
   
• Invest in legal support to protect our IP and create clear pathways for trademarking and copyrighting our original content.
  
   

Every dollar you give helps create a world where rest isn’t a luxury – it’s our birthright.

So please support, share, or sponsor a session. Together we can build a future where we burn bright – not out.

Thank you!
