Founder

Nichell Taylor Bryant, who has worked successfully in the media industry for nearly 20 years, is the founder and consultant team leader of SoulSource Communications. 

Before launching SoulSource, Ms. Taylor Bryant was national manager of media relations at the Wall Street-based Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International (JDRF), the world's largest charitable funder and advocate of diabetes research.  As part of JDRF's award-winning public affairs team recognized by the Public Relations Society of America and the International Association of Business Communicators, Ms. Taylor Bryant helped to develop, oversee and execute a wide array of media outreach initiatives designed to increase awareness worldwide about type 1 diabetes and paths toward a cure.

Ms. Taylor Bryant's career began in 1989 in Atlanta, where she was a freelance writer covering various news and feature stories for the city's historic community newspapers, including The Atlanta Voice, the Atlanta Daily World, The Atlanta Inquirer and the Atlanta University Center Digest. In 1990, Ms. Taylor Bryant joined the editorial staff of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC), the largest newspaper south of Washington, D.C., and east of Houston. For seven years as a reporter at the AJC, she covered education and other youth- and family-related news and features, breaking hard news, political races, people profiles and the performing arts. Her most treasured assignment: being sent, for her first-ever metro story, to interview her idol Rosa Parks, the mother of the modern civil rights movement.

In 1997, Ms. Taylor Bryant jumped the media fence from print journalism to nonprofit media/public relations. Her entry on this side of the industry was as media liaison at New York City's Safe Horizon (formerly Victim Services), the nation's leading nonprofit victim assistance, advocacy, and violence prevention organization. She later became the media specialist for the Long Island-based Institute for Student Achievement, where she coordinated media projects to publicize the organization's trailblazing work with low-performing students in public middle and high schools throughout the country. From there, she moved back to New York City to join JDRF. Throughout her career in journalism and media relations, Ms. Taylor Bryant has embraced numerous opportunities to work closely with a veritable 'who's who' of individuals in the public eye, including the political and entertainment worlds.

She is a 1991 cum laude graduate of Clark Atlanta University with a bachelor's degree in mass media arts/journalism.
