At Black Girl Ai Virtual Academy, we believe that community plays an important role in helping girls discover new possibilities, build confidence, and imagine their futures.
We are excited to feature Daphne Marie, who is joining our Black Girl Ai community and helping us create meaningful experiences for the girls we serve. Daphne will also be assisting with our upcoming AI Pajama Party with Kehlani, where she and her granddaughter, Lay, will be part of a special night of creativity, connection, imagination, and AI fun.
We invite you to get to know Daphne and learn more about the experiences and passion she brings to the work of encouraging and empowering others.
About Daphne
Daphne Marie is a proud Glamma, mentor, educator, entrepreneur, and the founder of Glamour & Ash.
Long before building her own brand, Daphne developed a heart for encouraging and empowering young people. She spent nine years as a substitute teacher, working with students across different ages and learning firsthand the importance of creating spaces where children feel seen, heard, and capable. She also served as a mentor to young girls through Mocha Sisters Organization, helping girls build confidence, recognize their potential, and navigate the journey of becoming who they are.
Today, being a Glamma has made that commitment even more personal. Daphne believes girls deserve early exposure to opportunities, technology, creativity, and women who remind them that there is room for them in spaces they may not have imagined for themselves.
Professionally, Daphne is a Midlife Style Strategist and founder of Glamour & Ash, a lifestyle and personal transformation brand helping Gen X women rediscover confidence through style, self-discovery, and intentional living. She is also an entrepreneur and creative who embraces AI as a tool for bringing ideas to life, building businesses, and telling stories.
Whether she is encouraging women in their next chapter or pouring into the generation coming behind her, Daphne's message remains simple: know who you are, trust what you bring to the table, and never be afraid to imagine what's possible.
