Tori Ellis is a New York native, a certified life coach, business coach, author, and entrepreneur.
From a young age, she watched her family aid and empower many members of the youth in the
community, and decided to build from that legacy to create a lane of her own. She acquired her
Master’s Degree in Industrial-Organizational Psychology and her PsyD. in Human and
Organizational Psychology. Being a “millennial” in today’s society, she strives to give her peers
and the generations under her the tools they need to be great members of society with her
focus on wellness, positive psychology, and of course entrepreneurship. These concepts were first debuted in her first book The Sound of Business: Seeing Entrepreneurship through Hip
Hop.
With her love and passion for children, she created the I Am A Mini Entrepreneur series/ brand
to bring great stories that can teach and empower children around the world to always follow
their passion and be their best selves. Through an expansion of the brand, the new sister
series/brand of Ms. Belladonna’s Lab was created and elevated to a new form outside of just
books.
Alongside her business partner, Danielle Corbin, Tori co-founded MSYMP to bring urban
gardening, mindfulness, and aquaponics to many children and organizations.
