Hudson became intrigued with all things Entertainment in 2008 during her matriculation at the prestigious Black Ivy League Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA. While at Morehouse, Chanel majored in Psychology with a concentrated minor in English realizing that to understand the culture of celebrity, business, and executive positions within the entertainment industry, you first had to conquer the psychology of how the industry and its players operate both professionally, mentally, and politically. After leaving Morehouse in 2010, Chanel was accepted into the Mass Communications program at the University of South Florida, and in 2012, Chanel returned to Atlanta, GA to build out her industry credentials and client roster.
In early 2012, Chanel was offered her first executive position as the Public Relations Coordinator and Account Manager for the award winning 135th Street Agency (Now One 35) in Atlanta, GA under the direction of its head executives: Shante Bacon and Saptosa Foster. While secured by the agency, Chanel instantly underwent high intensity training forums, tools, and tactics, directed by the agency’s executive team to instill, and ensure the proper knowledge and function of Public Relations at a high profile agency level. Within an extremely short period of time, Chanel started to execute mainstream grassroots publicity and marketing campaigns for accounts contracted through the agency. During her time as PR Coordinator and Account Manager, Chanel coordinated several successful mainstream movie, television, and lifestyle campaigns.
After departing from the 135th Street Agency executive team, Chanel has put 100% effort into building and managing The PR Mentality Network Agency which is the 1st Transgender Owned non-competing Public Relations and Brand Management Network Agency in the Atlanta market; that caters to both the celebrity and the private sector.
