Ashley T. Brundage is the Founder and President of Empowering Differences. While seeking employment at a major financial institution, Brundage self-identified during the interview process as a male to female transgender woman and subsequently was hired. Starting as a part time teller she rose to VP, Diversity, and Inclusion in less than 5 years. Brundage captured this 4-step process of using empowerment to cultivate change in her new book and online course. She credits her success to those closest to her for providing actionable allyship including her 2 teenage sons, Bryce and Blake.
