Bio

I am a Single Mom, an Entrepreneur, a Running Life Coach, and a Podcaster. I created Ella-Go to empower women through fitness, health, and everything in between.

I'm passionate about

My passion is women empowerment! I created Ella-Go to provide the space to have uncomfortable conversations and to help women change their narrative to I CAN and I WILL. The narrative being that they can dream big, be who they want to be, and become the best versions of themselves. I love sharing stories whether it be my own or others. It's through the stories that you provide support, love, and encouragement to other women.

An idea worth spreading

We are not doing enough for single mothers to thrive in corporate America. According to the US Census Bureau, out of 10 million single parent families, almost 80 percent were headed by single mothers with a third of them living in poverty. What are we doing to educate employers and leaders to understand the difference between equality and equity? That it is okay to recognize and address the limitations of a single mother to access opportunities to become successful. The idea worth spreading is to bring awareness that single mothers are not looking for a hall pass, they are looking for acceptances on how they work. Single mothers are capable of doing the work. However, how they do the work may not look like everyone else. Lets develop and enforce programs to help corporations and businesses create ways to implement flexibility and provide examples on how to shift the perspective on single mothers because watching a gender equity video does not cut it.
