Local native Dr. Kelly Eller will serve as the host and moderator of the Own It. Out Loud. summit this coming Tuesday, an online event featuring 12 prominent women leaders.

Eller was selected by Harrison Klein, author of Badass Bitches of History and founder of the BAB movement. 

The summit, which focuses on female leadership and self-expression, is scheduled for Tuesday, March 24, at 4 p.m.

According to Eller, Klein is recognized for his work amplifying female voices and building a platform centered on confidence and unapologetic leadership.

A proud native of Halifax County, Eller is a financial professional with Revolution Financial Management, where she helps families build long-term financial independence. Her professional background also includes more than 18 years in nursing, with a focus on education and leadership. She is also an author; her book, Summer at The Point, is available on Amazon, and she was academically published in 2022.

As an advocate for the BAB mission, organizers say Eller represents a "new kind of leadership" that refuses to be confined to a single identity.

“The BAB Summit is about stepping fully into who you are — without shrinking to fit expectations,” Eller said. “For a long time, I thought I had to choose a lane — mom, nurse, professional — but BAB is about clarity, self-regulation, and refusing to let systems define you."

Eller noted that as moderator, she will guide conversations among 12 women to create a space for "real stories and authentic connection."

"I’m happier than ever being able to teach, lead, and support families in creating financial freedom — all while fully owning every part of who I am,” she said.
