We had the good fortune of connecting with Trish Bolden and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Trish, what is the most important factor behind your success?

The most important factor behind the success of my boutique consulting firm, Trish B. Media & Consulting, LLC, lies in adaptability and client-centered solutions. Launching during an economic crisis presented unique challenges, as businesses became increasingly selective about their investments. In response, I prioritized understanding my clients’ distinct needs and crafting tailored strategies that not only address their immediate goals but also drive sustainable, long-term success.

By remaining flexible, continuously analyzing the latest market trends, and aligning my services with what clients truly need, I’ve earned their trust and proven the importance of impactful solutions, even in tough times. Additionally, my extensive experience—spanning over 11 years in corporate America and nearly 8 years as a Media Correspondent in the Sports and Entertainment Industry—has equipped me with critical skills and insights that drive success in my firm.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?

Launching Trish B Media & Consulting Firm, LLC has been a dream come true—a boutique consulting firm dedicated to helping individuals and businesses craft their unique stories and elevate their brands. With over 11 years of experience working with billion-dollar companies and leveraging my background in Data Science for Business at Harvard Business School, I’ve built a firm rooted in innovation and impactful results.

What truly sets us apart is the personal touch we bring to every project, ensuring every client feels seen, heard, and represented. I’m most proud of my clients’ successes and the wins we’ve achieved together—from building brand visibility across states to helping businesses establish a strong presence in competitive markets. Whether it’s creating PR strategies that amplify brands, managing complex projects, or helping someone tell their story in a way that connects with their audience, Trish B Media Consulting Firm, LLC is more than a business—it’s a platform for transformation, growth, and connection. Through my firm, we offer services including writing, editing, data science, publishing, article features, and public relations services.

The journey to building Trish B Media has been anything but easy. Life threw every challenge imaginable my way, but I refused to let adversity define me. Instead, I leaned on faith, stayed focused, and held onto my vision, no matter how hard the road became. Each setback became a stepping stone, teaching me resilience and sharpening my determination. Challenges didn’t break me; they built me.

What are the lessons you’ve learned along the way?

This journey has taught me lessons I’ll carry forever:

  1. Pray and stay patient – God’s timing is always perfect, even when we can’t see it. Your job isn’t to know the destination, but to trust the process.
  2. Life happens for you, not to you – Every challenge holds a purpose; it’s shaping you into who you’re meant to be.
  3. Not everyone you start with will finish with you – Growth means outgrowing certain relationships, letting go and that’s okay.
  4. Embrace change – When one door closes, trust that God’s grace will open anew.

What do you want the world to know about you or your brand and story?

My story is still unfolding, and I believe this is just the beginning. Trish B Media represents the first chapter of a much bigger vision—one filled with possibilities, growth, discipline

and service.

I’m a Southern Belle at heart, raised with a deep love for family, quality time, and the values that shape who I am today. While I’m a businesswoman who works hard to help others achieve their dreams, I never lose sight of what matters most—faith, family, and balance. Whether it’s taking a walk by the ocean, enjoying the stillness of nature, spa day or spending time with loved ones, I believe that life’s simplest joys are what keep us grounded.

Trish B Media & Consulting, LLC was born from my passion for storytelling and my commitment to helping others succeed. My journey has taken me from walking red carpets at the Oscars and BET Awards to leading my role as the Senior Publisher and Editor for Hype Hair Magazine and partnering with incredible organizations like the NFL. But the most rewarding part of my work is seeing my clients thrive. Watching their stories come to life, witnessing their brands grow, and celebrating their wins across states—it’s all personal to me.

Through Trish B Media, I’ve found a way to combine my love for creativity, connection, and strategy. But I’m just as passionate about self-care and making time for what feeds my soul—whether it’s a peaceful moment by the ocean, an evening with loved ones, or simply reflecting on how far I’ve come.

At the heart of my business is a belief in transformation and growth, not just for my clients but for myself, too. I’m here to inspire, to connect, and to create impact—not just through my work but in how I live my life.

 If there’s one thing, I want the world to know, it’s this: No matter where you start, you can create something extraordinary when you lean into your purpose and trust the process.
