Meet The Founder

Ashley Banks

Ashley Banks is more than the founder of The Legacy Mom Foundation—she is a woman on assignment.

A mother, visionary, and advocate for generational change, Ashley created this organization from a deeply personal place. As a single mother herself, she understands the weight of responsibility, the silent battles, and the unwavering desire to build a better life, not just for today, but for generations to come.

Her journey is one of resilience, faith, and transformation.

With over a decade of experience in banking, mortgage, and real estate, Ashley has helped countless families navigate one of the most powerful wealth-building tools available: homeownership. But along the way, she saw a gap; hardworking single mothers who were doing everything “right,” yet still falling through the cracks. Women who earned too much for assistance, but not enough to get ahead.

She knew something had to change.

The Legacy Mom Foundation was born out of that conviction.

Ashley’s vision is clear: to equip single mothers with the tools, resources, and support needed to heal, grow, and build lasting wealth. Through faith-centered personal development, financial literacy, and pathways to homeownership, she is creating more than programs, she is building a movement.

A movement rooted in legacy.

Ashley believes that healing is the foundation of wealth, and that when a mother transforms her life, she changes the trajectory of her entire family. Her work is not just about financial breakthrough, it’s about identity, restoration, and stepping fully into purpose.

Guided by her faith, Ashley leads with compassion, boldness, and an unshakable belief that every woman deserves access to stability, ownership, and abundance.

Because legacy isn’t just what we leave behind,
it’s what we build, live, and pass on every single day.


“I built this from my own journey—because I know what it means to carry heavy things and still choose to rise.”
