Who We Are

For The Fearless Co. was built on the belief that creativity is more than just art, it’s our gateway to FEARLESSNESS! Leading us to confidence, identity, self expression.
Founded by artist and educator Ashante Wilson, FTF Co. began as a creative outlet and evolved into a platform dedicated to helping others discover their voice and face their fears. Growing up in Buffalo, NY, and experiencing firsthand the gaps in access, representation, and creative opportunity, Ashante set out to create something different something meaningful.
FTF Academy of Creative Arts was created to bring that vision into schools and communities, giving students the space, tools, and encouragement to express who they are without fear.
