Speaker | Coach | Advocate

Aanii; Welcome
Hey there! I'm Ashley Lamothe
A proud Anishnaabe and Métis Momma of two, rooted in the heart of Northern Ontario and Manitoba.
By day (and sometimes by night!), I'm a Ph.D. student, workshop wizard, keynote firestarter, creativity coach, and the Founder & CEO of Creative Kwe.
I'm on a mission to spark imaginations and stir souls by helping folks across the globe see the world through an intersectional, creative lens.
My Story
I've poured my heart, heritage, and hustle into crafting tools, products, and designs that educate, uplift, and unleash creativity.
From soul-nourishing journals to vibrant kits and fresh collections; each piece is a love letter to inspiration.
Looking for a speaker who brings passion, power, and a whole lot of heart to your event, team, or organization?
You’ve just found her.
Welcome to my world
Where creativity meets culture, and anything is possible. <3
