I'm just an essayist and poet out here Living, Aging, Dreaming in the #AgeOfChaos. Like every poet my feelings bleed onto the page 😆. But, here's my official bio:

Dr. Addie Ellis is a dynamic speaker, writer, and professor whose work explores flourishing, belonging, and liberation in what she calls #TheAgeOfChaos. An educator and coach for nearly three decades, she’s known for her bold, approach to leadership, well-being, and liberation-focused transformation.

Her book Black Butterfly: Essays on isms and Lived Experiences in a Race-Centric Nation and her Living, Aging, Dreaming blog center stories of resilience and radical self-reflection. Dr. Ellis brings scholarship, storytelling, and soul to every workshop helping individuals and institutions create cultures of rest, joy, and sustainable change.
