Ashunti was born on July 6, 1980, in Gainesville, Florida to Frank Ford Sr., and Kathy Henderson.

She attended the schools of Alachua County, and graduated from Gainesville High School. Shortly, after graduation Ashunti began dating the love of her life, John Douglas. Ashunti eventually moved to Tallahassee to continue her education at Tallahassee Community College. Ashunti transferred to Florida State University, later receiving her bachelors degree in Finance. Ashunti went on to earn her masters degree in Business Administration.

Ashunti and John welcomed their first son in 2002. Ashunti took some time off work to excel as a stay at home mother. Ashunti was soon hired at Citibank, but shortly left the position, and began working as a home manager for The Home Shopping Network (HSN). Due to Ashuntis hard work and dedication, she returned back to Citibank as the accountant and eventually was promoted to Vice President. John and Ashunti were married in August 2006.

Ford Jr., Rolanda and Eric Ford, Trevor (Steve) Martin, Dimitri Stacy, and Abya Herring; and a host of other family members, friends and co-workers who will dearly miss her.
