​Courtney Price is a graduate of William B. Murrah High School. She is a former student of Power Academics & Performing Arts Complex (APAC) where she studied Theatre Arts. Courtney also engaged in other social and school organizations that have given her a broad background in Performing Arts and working with youth. Though she has faced many hardships growing up, Courtney has never given up on her dreams and what she believes is her calling...sharing her story and knowledge to mentor young girls. She has always believed that a person understands a situation better if they've experienced it for themselves. Courtney truly believes that the Board is made up of unique individuals that have either gone through or knows someone that has gone through the struggles of our young society today. She is confident that YFOCUS Inc's approach to connecting with young girls will prevail because it's a unique organization that will allow positive outlet for self expression.. She likes to call it "Arts Therapy".

Having recorded her very first song at age 7, Ashley is no stranger to Performing Arts. She participated choirs, plays, and musicals during her middle and high shool years.
