I’m Ellakisha O’Kelley, also known as The Empowerment Influencer® — an ownership attorney, author, TEDx speaker, podcast host, and former elite track and field athlete who turned life’s hurdles into a framework for legal empowerment.
At the helm of Scire De Jure® Legal Firm, I serve founders, sports professionals, creatives, and real estate entrepreneurs who are done with playing defense and ready to build protected legacies through strategy, structure, and ownership. My boutique firm is not just where legal meets lifestyle, it’s where ideas become protected assets, and protected assets become lasting wealth.
With over 30 years of real-life experience in high-stakes arenas — from Olympic-level competition to entertainment deal-making — I bring a rare blend of athletic discipline, legal precision, and business strategy to every client interaction. I’ve helped hundreds of clients secure their rights, protect their brands, and close 7- and 8-figure business deals, turning their talent into equity and opportunity.
You may have seen my work in Georgia Bar Magazine, Voyage ATL, Canvas Rebel, Rolling Out, and more , or heard my voice on panels for Microsoft’s Women of Color in Film, Music, and Television, Pinky Cole’s American Sesh, Biz Savvy Artist Academy, or the Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs. As the author of two legal empowerment books and the host of the Seek ELLAvation® podcast, I’m on a mission to help everyday achievers strengthen their legal health and fitness, so they can increase their power, elevate their position, and compete with confidence.
Through my Legal Fitness Plans and Gold Standard Ownership® philosophy, I provide tailored legal health options that align with where a potential client is in business, from grassroots hustle to global growth. Whether they need contracts, IP strategy, entity structuring, or full-service legal partnership, I help them move from hustle to heritage — with protection, power, and clarity.
I’m also a proud first-generation high school, college, and law school graduate. I know what it means to beat the odds and build something real. That’s why I’ve made it my business to help you do the same, with every legal move aligned to your next big leap.
