Captivating A-List actress and Global Humanitarian Ashley Judd can certainly speak for herself.
How wonderful it would be if she could speak for you, your cause or your organization too.
She does that from time to time on very worthy causes.
With stellar results.
Ashley Judd is an American actress who grew up in a family of performing artists.
She is the daughter of the late country music singer Naomi Judd and the half-sister of country music singer Wynonna Judd.
Her acting career has spanned more than three decades, and she has also become heavily involved in global humanitarian efforts and political activism.
We’re sincerely glad of that. The world is in need of it.
Movie time.
Ms. Judd has starred in films that have been well received and box office successes, including:
Drum roll please.
Ruby in Paradise (1993), Heat (1995), Smoke (1995), Norma Jean & Marilyn (1996), A Time to Kill (1996), Kiss the Girls (1997), Double Jeopardy (1999), Where the Heart Is (2000), Frida (2002), High Crimes (2002), Divine Secrets of the YaYa Sisterhood (2002), De-Lovely (2004), Twisted (2004), Bug (2006), Dolphin Tale (2011), Olympus Has Fallen (2013), Divergent (2014), Dolphin Tale 2 (2014), Big Stone Gap (2014), Barry (2016) and A Dog’s Way Home (2019).
She starred as Rebecca Winstone in the 2012 television series Missing, for which she was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Miniseries or a Movie.
Now for sponsorships.
Starting in 2004, Ashley was the advertising “face” of American Beauty, an Estée Lauder cosmetic brand sold at Kohl’s department stores, and of H. Stern jewelers.
In June 2007, Goody’s Family Clothing launched three fashion clothing lines with Judd in the fall to be called “AJ”, “Love Ashley”, and “Ashley Judd”. In 2008 they added an “Ashley Judd Plus” line.
That is an incredible resume.
By May 2007, Ashley completed a BA degree at the University of Kentucky.
Now for important causes our luminary has been a part of.
For more than a decade, Ashley has conducted humanitarian work that focuses on gender equality, and the sexual and reproductive health and rights of women and girls.
In 2016, she was appointed a Goodwill Ambassador for UNFPA, the United Nations agency with responsibilities including sexual and reproductive health.
She has also traveled with YouthAIDS to places affected by illness and poverty, such as Cambodia, Kenya, and Rwanda. To help spread the word, she has narrated three documentaries for YouthAIDS that aired on the Discovery Channel, in National Geographic, and on VH1.
Brilliant.
Ashley is now involved in another important cause you should know about.
Non-Profit Resilient Retreat Culminates Its Grand Opening Events With a Sold-Out Keynote Address by Actress and Humanitarian Ashley Judd

SARASOTA, Fla., Nov. 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Resilient Retreat, a new Sarasota non-profit providing free and confidential support for survivors of abuse, first responders and helping professionals, recently celebrated the pinnacle of its grand opening events: a sold-out luncheon with keynote speaker, actress and humanitarian Ashley Judd.
Held on Thursday, November 3, this highly anticipated community event included a ceremonial ribbon cutting, a VIP sponsor reception and a booking signing by Ms. Judd. More than 500 attendees joined together for a magnificent, tented luncheon on the retreat’s 84 acres of conservation land. The event included remarks by Resilient Retreat Founder and Board Chair Dr. Sidney Turner and Executive Director Lisa Intagliata, a live auction and a special keynote address by Ms. Judd, who spoke of her own personal story of healing and resiliency.
The luncheon came on the heels of the non-profit’s recent Campus Building Dedication and Open House, which took place on Tuesday, October 18. Free and open to the public, the event drew a wide audience from the Greater Sarasota community. Event highlights included guided tours of the center’s new facilities, a sage ceremony and the placement of a time capsule. Attendees also experienced samplings from the center’s interdisciplinary programming, including neurofeedback, yoga, equine and animal therapies, art and music therapies and much more.
“We are humbled and grateful for the outpowering of support we have received throughout this journey,” said Executive Director Lisa Intagliata. “While we exceeded our expectations and goals for each of these events, there is still much work to be done, particularly as our community continues to heal from the widespread effects of Hurricane Ian. Now more than ever, there is a need to provide training and support not only to trauma survivors, but also to organizations and helping professionals such as nurses, first responders and teachers, as they too experience the effects of stress and compassion fatigue.”
In addition to its individual participant programs, Resilient Retreat provides community trainings on trauma for corporations, businesses, non-profits and non-governmental agencies. Immediately following Hurricane Ian, the team quickly ramped up its efforts with increased trainings to provide much-needed mental health support for community partners. These efforts included sessions for the community sponsored by The Community Foundation of Sarasota County, the Charles and Margery Barancik Foundation and the Sarasota County School District, among others.
“We are thankful that through advocates such as Ashley Judd, trauma no longer has the stigma it once did. We are witnessing more individuals, and organizations, recognizing the effects of trauma and seeking help. With few free, confidential and evidence-based resources like Resilient Retreat, we know that there will continue to be a great need for our work, not only in our community but beyond. Through the kind financial support of our donors and the work by our board members, staff and volunteers, we stand ready to serve with open doors, and open arms.”
