He was raised by his mother who only had an 8th grade education. He and his mother were considered “low-income” and they received food stamps, free school lunch, and government food commodities while living in low-income housing (projects) throughout his childhood.

Because of the myriad at-risk factors that comprised his environment, Dr. Ellis knew that he was at-risk as a youth and unapologetically embraces the fact that to this day he is even more at-risk…TO SUCCEED!
