No Straight Path
Storyteller, Attorney
Ashley Menzies Babatunde is a storyteller and attorney. After attending Harvard Law School, Ashley had to combat her struggle with perfectionism. After her first big professional failure, she began to question everything. She realized that she is not defined by her achievements or her failures. Instead, she is defined by the human qualities that allowed her to achieve the successes and overcome the challenges. Ashley is on a mission to share the human stories behind success through her podcast No Straight Path. Her hope is that listeners leave the conversation inspired.
