Ashley Speed is an AMI-certified Montessori guide with over a decade of classroom experience. She has presented at Montessori conferences on children’s literacy, creating queer-friendly classroom environments, sex ed and more. She has designed and sold inclusive classroom materials since 2016. She spends her spare time cross stitching, parenting a highly intelligent and energetic daughter, and sharing her life with two wonderful men—one of whom is the world’s best husband and one who writes the world’s best bios.

Ashley’s first book, Nonmonogamy and Teaching, will be released by Thornapple Press in 2023.
