The guardianship of the vision for Ashé has been entrusted into the hands of the founders and directing team of CAROL BEBELLE, a local published writer, producer, with over 20 years of program development and collaborative planning experience, and DOUGLAS REDD known affectionately as the "Community's Artist."

DOUGLAS REDD has an impressive history and portfolio of work that includes design and/or creation of the Congo Square Area at the Jazz and Heritage Festival for 20 years, design of the Essence Music Festival logo, creator of the Efforts of Grace series of installations and a line of ethnic themed holiday cards. He is entrusted with the design of images for almost every effort that seeks to celebrate the spirit and images of the Diaspora in New Orleans.
