Ella R. Thompson
Dr. Ella R. Thompson is a formation scholar and truth-teller whose books equip leaders and readers across every context to name what they carry, release what was never theirs, and lead from the authority that is genuinely their own.
"There are teachers who inform you and teachers who form you. Dr. Ella Thompson is the latter." - J. Anderson, Founder, TXN Technologies
The Formation Practice with Dr. Ella R. Thompson | Weekly conversations on leadership, formation, and the authority that is cultivated rather than assigned.
I Am Not Your Mammy: Care, Expectation & Invisible Labor | The roles were assigned before you knew they were optional. I Am Not Your Mammy examines the archetypes — Mammy Syndrome, Elder Daughter Syndrome, Clean Up Woman dynamics, and the Strong Black Woman schema — that organize Black women's sense of self around obligation and the performance of strength, and reclaims the authority that is genuinely theirs.
Coming Soon: You Were Built for This: Aligning Calling, Capacity, and Cost | Calling without capacity is ambition. Capacity without calling is effort. You Were Built for This examines what it means when all three are finally in alignment — and what it takes to lead from that place.
