Hi friends!
Hi, I’m Ashia Ray [they/them], founder and Head Custodian of Raising Luminaries. I create educational resources for overworked caregivers juggling advocacy, parenting, and community care.
As an Autistic, multiracial (Chinese/Irish) parent raising neurodivergent kids, I know what it’s like to feel awkward, unsure, and frustrated in typical parenting and advocacy communities.
With over a decade of experience in disability and racial justice organizing, I'm best suited to helping caregivers who feel out of place in traditional parenting and activist spaces. If you’re unsure whether you belong here - that’s a pretty good sign that you're in the right place.

ACCOUNTABILITY
Raising Luminaries is rooted in the unceeded land of the Wampanoag & Massachusett People.
Land acknowledgements are worthless without action. So we prioritize amplifying Indigenous-lead resources in our toolkits and reciprocate with donations to the Wôpanaâk Language Reclaimation Project.
