Meet Sonya & Ashli
We are Sonya Crew and Ashli Crew Rodriguez — the mother-daughter founders behind Shake Stir & Mingle™, the lifestyle and hospitality brand redefining what it means to gather, sip, and live with intention.
Sonya Crew is an early childhood educator with over 30 years of classroom experience, the publisher of Joy and Praise Magazine in 2003 under her company Blessed Communications, and a community builder whose career has placed her alongside leaders across faith, sports, and culture — including collaborations with NFL greats like Troy Vincent. Her career has been built on one conviction: structure and intention change outcomes.
Ashli Crew Rodriguez is a full spectrum doula, prenatal educator, lactation educator, and maternal health advocate. As the founder of A Village Doula, she has spent her career walking alongside women in the most vulnerable and sacred moments of their lives — bringing presence, advocacy, and informed care to every room she enters. The same instinct that makes her an exceptional doula shapes every recipe, every life lesson, and every gathering at the heart of SSM™.
Together, we built the SSM Zero-Proof Playbook™, developed the proprietary SSM Method™ — Foundation, Elevation, Balance, Texture, Presentation — and created a platform trusted by 400K+ community members globally.
As Official Media Partners of Tales of the Cocktail, Tales Catalyst Honorees, and recognized voices at Bar Convent Brooklyn, we bring industry credibility, community trust, and curatorial authority to every brand, hotel, and experience we feature in The Pour Edit.
This is what 30 years of showing up for people looks like when it finds its platform.
Every sip is a choice. Every choice is a lesson. Every lesson points back to better living.
— Sonya & Ashli, Shake Stir & Mingle™
