Meet TLS's
Founder.

Ericka Ellis, once an abused foster child and college dropout, chose to become a victor instead of a victim. She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Purdue University with a Master’s Degree in Strategic Management and a Bachelor’s Degree in Organizational Leadership.

She went on to become a two time Published Author, Award Winning Philanthropist, Speaker & Life Performance Strategist known as, "The Fire Starter," who reignites women back to their faith, identity and purpose. Additionally, as a Fire Starter, she breaks the mental barriers that interfere with ones performance and productivity through her SPARK Method, which results in more positive can-do attitudes, higher levels of productivity, greater performance and happiness.

She’s been featured on ABC, CBS, D Magazine & Dallas Weekly, to name a few. Ericka has been recognized as ‘Texan With Character’ by CBS and named ‘Person of Excellence of the Year,” and “Top 8 Influencers of Dallas,” for her work in the community.
