Carson Ellis: Hi. My name is Carson Ellis. My first name is Carson, but that's confusing to people sometimes, because I am a woman, not a man. People often think I'm a man. But I'm actually named after a woman, named Carson McCullers, who was a southern author, who wrote one of my favorite books called The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, which was one of my mother's favorite books too, which is why I'm named after her.
