CHÁNTELLE
Chántelle Adanna Agbro is a Nigerian-American literary artist, self-published author, spoken word poet, and self-love/wellness enthusiast, currently based in Los Angeles, California. With the recent launch of her personalized project: The Rebel Journal and the audiobook release of her debut memoir titled, My Soul Told On Me, and she’s currently shifting her focus to screenwriting!
Born & raised in Maryland, her two-parent home was always surrounded by undying love. From developing a passion for journaling at 10 years old to then publishing her work through WordPress sophomore year of college, the path to becoming her own wasn’t easy. Yet, despite her perfectly flawed journey, she’s persevered to self-publishing everything she touches, including her memoir, journal, and annual calendars. Chántelle has consistently developed and climbed the latter in her literary career since.
She was fortunate enough to experience what some may call the best of both worlds in her schooling. She attended a mixture of private and public schools from elementary to high school and topped it off at Temple University, getting her BBA for Entrepreneurship and a minor in Spanish.
While in school, she began to uncover more and more about herself, one incident, in particular, took her emotions over the edge, sparking a more serious investment with her writing. After Chántelle took her work to WordPress to share with the world for the first time, the rest was history.
Shortly after, in 2015, she committed to the idea of writing a book, and four years later, in June of 2019, she self-published her first masterpiece through iUniverse entitled: My Soul Told On Me. From there, the real work began and she was up for the challenge.
She writes for women of color but specifically black women to feel their embedded emotions when they’re too busy carrying everyone else’s, which is what birthed her trademark: “She Carries.” Her work is for women at any age and at any stage in life as she covers a wide range of topics such as self-care, heartbreak, depression, politics, and self-hate, etc.
From storytelling to poem affirmations, to spoken word, Chántelle is known for being fearless and ruthless in her vulnerability, courageous in her ability to speak, and fluid in her ability to authentically convey her feelings. She articulates from root to stem the value of self-love with the Afro-Latino culture always intertwined. At 28, this is Chántelle’s first book but definitely not her last.
