ASHLEY LONGSHORE | “I cried a lot, when I was little, and I would lock myself in my bathroom and look in the mirror and cry. And I think what I really gained from feeling like I didn’t fit in, feeling like a freak, feeling like I hate this… I really learned to have a strong, inner monologue that is, ‘You can do this, everything’s going to be alright. You got this girl.’ So, instead of beating myself up, I do the exact opposite of that…. Instead, I find something that I love about myself, and I focus on that, and then I go out and, you know, conquer, if I can.”

Ashley Longshore started out in life being told who to be, how to act, and what to think… and she was NOT having it. In fact, she went in the exact opposite direction… and prevailed. Her decision to belong early on gave her the power to override city & cultural influences—to work hard and earn her way to the top—not just by disregarding the rules of the game, but by creating a brand new one. And, as a result, becoming a type of Wonder Woman on her own. This new game is built on a different declaration—one she paints, bedazzles, and shares with all of us, to remind us that whatever city we’re in—no matter where we come from—wherever we go, there we are. Because, when you choose to belong to yourself, you drop the need to fit in—and this makes you more powerful than any city, any family line, and any societal program designed to hold you back.

An inspiring, powerful human being, Ashley shares her story with us in “THE WONDER WOMAN IN THE MIRROR: Ashley Longshore’s Decision to Belong” in the Spring 2026 “The Cities Edition” Cover Story of MANiCURE. Magazine. It’s one you do NOT want to miss!

Presenting the Spring 2026 “The Cities Edition” ft. Ashley Longshore 🙌

Get ready for an exciting issue, about things not normally discussed in the health realm: cities!

Cities have a profound effect on our health, our minds, and our lives. This issue discusses how they affect us, the power of our hometowns, how our family lines impact us, and how to leverage them all to improve our health & lifestyle.

In this issue, you can read the Cover Story of Ashley’s experience growing up in the Deep South, the influence it had on who she is today, her time in New Orleans, and her energetic life in NYC today!

In addition, this issue also features some very talented guest writers we can all learn from:

* .catherineclinton discusses Fascia: how it serves as an antenna for environmental information and how we can support it

* covers astrocartography, a fascinating topic on how your birth place and time impact how cities affect you for the rest of your life and what it all means

* shares with us everything about auras, what it is, what the colors mean, and how it affects our lives

* .amberleighcarter dives deep, offering 3 articles this issue about the science of cities, families, DNA, sound, and how it’s all connected and influences every cell of your body!

And, of course, there’s the Dr. Carter’s Favorites and Ask Amberleigh Column, featuring health tips and tricks on supplements for travel, men’s health, and more.

TAMICA LEE | “I don’t know who needs to hear this,” she interjects, “but it’s always okay to change course. Take a hard left. Do something different. I’ve been married for 22 years, and I feel like he’s married to ten people in that span because I’m always a different person. I’ve worn so many hats. And then sometimes, when you’re in the course of it, you’re like, ‘What am I doing? This feels stupid.’ You just got to keep going. That also is very important. The cycles of life, you know?”

Tamica Lee has always been in the spotlight. But off stage, the way she has interpreted her own life and the lessons she’s garnered: the grit, belief in self, taking chances, believing in yourself, doing the hard work, breaking & honoring family cycles, acceptance… is all something we can learn from.

A beautiful & resilient human being, Tamica shares her story with us in “A REAL LOOK AT TAMICA LEE: What You Don’t Know About Her Life, Legacy—And The Lessons We Can Learn From” in the Winter 2026 Cover Story of MANiCURE. Magazine. It’s one you do not want to miss.
