“Bravery is not the absence of fear. Bravery is feeling the fear, the doubt, the insecurity, and deciding that something else is more important.”

Ericka is a Global Inclusion & Diversity leader. In her current role, she collaborates with key stakeholders to develop comprehensive strategies that will increase diversity, build and sustain inclusive behaviors.

She was born and raised in Lincoln, Nebraska and has lived across the eastern part of the United States. She attended the University of Nebraska with a B.A. in Journalism - she’s forever a Cornhusker.

Ericka is a registered 200 hour yoga teacher and Lululemon ambassador. Bringing diversity, mindfulness and inclusion into spaces is her purpose and passion. It requires a looking at "self" in order to lead with inclusive behaviors that impact the whole.

Her journey of bravery began the moment she experienced fear - fear of being labeled, stereotyped, excelling and failing. Through personal development and yoga, she began walking the road of courage to cultivate bravery. This began her journey of being a compassionate disrupter to ensure all people feel welcomed, valued and heard.
