“Kristina’s presentation at our recent luncheon was amazing.  Her personal story of courage, perseverance and determination to overcome was inspirational and a story of hope for women and girls of all ages.  The practical steps she provided were on point and easy for our guest of all ages (ages 10 to 90 years of age) to implement in their daily lives!  Many in our audience were moved to tears and we have since received numerous comments from longtime supporters that Kristina was our best speaker to date and that her message was relevant to something they were going through currently.”

Linda Rhodes, Executive Director, The Womens Fund

“I cannot express enough how amazing Kristina was and how much our students enjoyed her presentation and presence.”

Kristina Ellis is a consummate professional, sharing her experiences of hardship and overcoming the odds. Our audience of about 100 business, education, and community leaders, as well as parents were hanging on Kristina’s every word as she explained how students can go the extra mile to get noticed in the scholarship application process. She provides great information in a casual, caring and sometimes comical way. Her engaging presence would definitely make me want to see her speak again on different topics, and I think students would find her energizing and motivational.

“It was great having Kristina. The students really seemed to connect with her, proof of that was in the many relevant questions that they asked. She has a very dynamic and likable personality and definitely has that special something that draws people to her.  We wish her good luck and hope to work together again somewhere down the line.”
