On February 27, 2025, Ashley DeRamus attended the National Down Syndrome Society (NDSS) Gala & Auction at Cipriani South Street in New York City, celebrating 45 years of impact for the Down syndrome community. This elegant evening brought together advocates, change makers, and supporters for a night of inspiration, gourmet cuisine, and a shared commitment to honoring the past and inspiring the future.
Ashley, a trailblazer in advocacy, continues to break barriers. As the first individual with Down syndrome she is constantly redefining possibilities and proving that beauty has no limits.
At the gala, Ashley connected with fellow advocates, shared her journey, and reinforced her mission: to empower individuals with Down syndrome to believe in themselves, prioritize wellness, and embrace self-care from the inside out. Her presence was a testament to the power of representation and the importance of accessible wellness solutions, including her focus on gut health as the foundation of radiant skin.
Ashley’s message remains clear: "Don't let anyone tell you what you can’t do—show them what you can do!" And at the NDSS Gala, she did just that.
Stay tuned as Ashley continues to begins to navaigate her journey to holistic beauty and wellness, inspiring a new generation to embrace their limitless potential!
