Hi, I’m Jhamesha Milord Ashford. *

Maybe you want to launch a podcast. Maybe you want to share your story. maybe you want to collab. Or maybe you just want to look at my work.

Whatever it is, WELCOME TO MY WORLD.

I’m an award-winning journalist, multimedia creative and storyteller dedicated to amplifying culture, justice and underrepresented voices.

Growing up in Ottawa while being a visible minority with an upbringing in community radio, I found a passion for sharing impactful art and uplifting marginalized communities.

I completed a 2-year program in business management and entrepreneurship and decided to go back to school after a long creative break, working from home in customer service. I’m currently finishing a journalism program with a graduation date set for June 2026.

I’ve been around in the news industry since 2020 and my experience in the journalism world brings life to live event coverage, radio news writing and production, show production, video production, scriptwriting, audio storytelling and podcasting.

Whether I’m conducting interviews, writing a story, shooting content, or just simply networking, my goal is to produce and share work that is authentic, raw, true, real, vulnerable, which resonates, inspires and connects audiences.

In terms of consulting, I’m mainly drawn to projects that value care, purpose, and meaningful connection. I enjoy helping individuals, student groups, and organizations with turning their ideas into podcasts that feel both authentic and sustainable.

I combine all my skills with a strong understanding for fairness, accuracy and balance through my work.

If I’m not writing, reporting or networking, I’m exploring local music events, spending time with family or friends, indulging in self-care, shopping at the farmer’s market or looking for natural ways to heal myself and seeking fresh ways to tell stories that matter. 

Feel free to contact me if you’re looking to chat or have any questions.

and afflict the comfortable.
