Hello, I'm Ashley Redway, the voice behind Beyond the Haze. I am currently navigating the final stretch of my undergraduate studies with a major in Fashion Merchandising, a concentration in Promotion, and a minor in Journalism. My college journey has been a rollercoaster of emotional challenges, marked by a mix of lows and highs, challenges and triumphs. These experiences have etched a profound impact, shaping my resilience and dedication to authenticity, values that guide my exploration of mental well-being, fashion, and sustainability on Beyond the Haze. Join me as we delve into these intersections and foster a community of understanding and exploration.
I am thrilled to share the purpose behind my blog, "Beyond the Haze." This digital space is more than just a platform; it's a conscious journey into the depths of mental well-being, the fashion industry, sustainability, environmentalism, and the realization that nothing is quite as it seems. Life has a way of presenting itself on the surface, but "Beyond the Haze" is all about peeling back those layers.
