Her most recent work has appeared in Chicken Soup for the Soul’s I’m Speaking Now: Black Women Share Their Truth in 101 Stories of Love, Courage and Hope.
“I cannot express enough the joy I have in welcoming Quanny to the team,” says Jevon Bolden, CEO, founder, and principal of Embolden Media Group. “We’ve known each other for several years now. In that time and as her literary agent, I’ve come trust and value her wealth of insight, rich connections, and critical strengths, and see them as necessary elements that will take Embolden Media Group to the next level.”
An author champion and avid cheerleader, Quantrilla has collaborated with authors such as Cara Meredith (The Color of Life, Zondervan, 2019), Traci Rhoades (Not All Who Wander (Spiritually) Are Lost, Church Pub, 2020), and Chrystal Evans Hurst (Show Up for Your Life, Zondervan, 2019).

“I can’t thank Jevon enough for this opportunity,” Quantrilla says, “I am more than honored to walk this journey with her, and I look forward to seeing how God will move and grow our efforts.”
Helping others is Quantrilla’s passion. She has acted as an advocate for several populations through her experience as a consultant, research assistant, and senior clinical analyst. Currently, she uses her social media platforms to engage, educate, and empower others. A guest on several podcasts and often writing on the topic of Black maternal health and infant mortality, Quantrilla has a PhD in Health Psychology and is a recent transplant to Atlanta, GA, where she lives with her husband, Donny, and three children.
