On this week’s Single Mom Mondays, we had the pleasure to talk with Charlotte native Ashley Smith, aka Blondie, from this season of American Idol.  Nicki Minaj dubbed her “Blondie” due to her locks of blonde hair, and by singing a country song to the judges, she has made it off to Hollywood!

Yasmin Young talked with Ashley about her life and struggle to raise her child while working 2-3 jobs and helping take care of her mother.  Watch the interview below, and we hope that she makes it to the LIVE show this year!

Watch Ashley’s performance of Carrie Underwood’s “Cowboy Cassanova” below!
