Ashley blaine featherson wedding

Ashley Blaine Featherson and Justin Simien

The talent opened up to ESSENCE about her breakthrough role and what else we can expect in the future.

Actress Ashley Blaine Featherson-Jenkins, who stars as Joelle on the Netflix series Dear White People, met sports agent Darroll Jenkins in the summer of 2010 at a house party in North Hollywood. Ten years later, Darroll took Ashley on an impromptu—or so she thought—horseback riding excursion on the beach, where he popped the question at sunset. “It turned into a mini photo shoot,” Ashley remembers. “We basked in all of the love and excitement while enjoying Champagne, just the two of us.”

Ashley & Ashton - Hazendal Estate, Stellenbosch. From the bustling streets of NYC to their home country, Ashley & Ashton celebrated their love surrounded by family and friends. Despite the rainy weather, their day was filled with joy and beauty. Ashley, an accomplished swimmer, effortlessly flowed through the day with grace, while Ashton, a former ballerina, brought an elegance and balance that was truly inspiring. Just like in their respective crafts, their love is about rhythm, strength...

For Sam and Billy, it was important that they weren't doing anything that they were "supposed to” do just for the sake of it, at their NYC wedding. "Every element we incorporated into our wedding was an intentional choice."
