Elaine Sugar

Elaine Sugar has years of experience in facilitating award-winning children's self-esteem building programs, evidenced by the Philadelphia 76ers Hometown Hero award and multiple Police Athletic League Volunteer awards. Professionally, she received her B.A. in Communications from the University of North Florida and has over 20 years of leadership experience in Commercial and Corporate banking.

Elaine’s first-hand knowledge of child development began at birth – Elaine is the youngest of nine children! She spent most of her childhood in Jacksonville Florida actively campaigning for the position of mom and dad’s favorite child, as well as her siblings’ favorite little sister. Elaine’s nurturing parents, Willie and Lillie Sugar instilled the value of speaking things into existence in early childhood. That was the foundation for her adopting the practice of affirmations. As a memorial, the main characters in the books are named Will and Lil, after Elaine’s honorable and loving parents.

Elaine enjoys museums, shopping, talking way too much, and corny jokes. Her favorite corny jokes are usually the ones she's written herself. She likes to share the jokes with others, but if no one else finds them funny, she is usually comfortable laughing all by herself.
