Meet the founder: Ashlee Braxton

I built Las Damas because I saw a gap in the market. I kept noticing that a lot of people were booking speakers who were really cool, or popular, or had a big online presence, but that didn’t always mean they could actually help somebody. The story might be inspiring, but sometimes it’s hard to translate that into something useful for the audience. And I wanted to create something different.

I also saw that there were not enough female speakers. That mattered to me. I wanted to create space for women, real women with real experience, women who have something to say and something to offer. Not just inspiration, but actual value.

For me, this is about more than just speaking. It’s about disrupting an industry that often feels polished but not always practical. It’s about bringing in voices that can really connect, really shift something, and really offer something useful in corporate spaces, events, and workshops.

And because I also do events, I can build the whole experience too. I can help plan the workshop, the flow, the music, the launch, the atmosphere, everything. So it’s not just about finding a speaker. It’s about creating the entire experience around the speaker so it all works together.

Las Damas came from wanting to build something more useful, more female-led, and more connected to what people actually need.

The Dama Difference

  • Real stories

    We work with women whose stories are lived, not polished for show. Their experiences are honest, global, and deeply human.

  • Practical tools

    Our sessions do more than motivate. They give audiences ideas, language, and actions they can take into real life.

  • Meaningful impact

    We create talks and workshops that help people connect, reflect, and move forward with clarity.

A Dama is:

Confident

Brave

Compassionate

•

Innovative

•

Dependable

•

Open-Minded

LAS DAMAS: THE AGENCY

A female-led agency bringing real stories, practical tools, and meaningful conversations to events, workshops, and collaborations. We work with women whose experiences span industries, countries, and career paths, creating sessions that feel relevant, engaging, and useful.

WORKSHOPS & EVENTS

Our workshops are interactive, practical, and designed for growth. We create spaces where people can reflect, ask questions, and leave with tools they can apply immediately. These sessions can support teams, communities, and organizations looking for something more meaningful than a standard training.

PUBLIC SPEAKING

Our speaking sessions are led by women with lived experience and a strong point of view. Rather than offering generic inspiration, we share stories that connect with real challenges: reinvention, leadership, identity, confidence, and building a life or career across borders. Each talk is designed to resonate with the audience in front of us and leave them with something they can actually use.

CREATIVE COLLABORATIONS

We also partner with brands, events, and organizations that want a thoughtful, original approach. That might mean shaping a session, contributing a fresh perspective, or helping design an experience that feels human and memorable. Our focus is always the same: clear communication, real value, and creative impact.

  • Brands and businesses

    For teams and organizations looking for speakers, workshops, and experiences that support growth, communication, and fresh thinking.

  • Event teams

    For planners and producers looking for thoughtful speakers and well-shaped experiences that fit the audience and the moment.


  • Universities and student communities

    For institutions looking to bring in real stories, honest conversations, and practical insight for students and young professionals.

    For groups looking to create meaningful conversations, connection, and experiences that feel human and relevant.
