Born and raised in Chicago, Chantelle studied at Northern Illinois University and is a certified Domestic Violence Specialist, Sexual Assault Specialist, volunteer, and Founder & Creative Director of My Fearless Future Project (MFF Project).

In 2008, Chantelle made the risky decision to break free from an abusive relationship. After years of healing through faith, self-care, self-worth, and learning about healthy relationships, Branch created a new life of her own and is now on a mission to empower others exposed to domestic violence to do the same.

After transitioning from the victimization of domestic violence to survivorship, Chantelle's determination to share her personal experience, educate, and inspire others drove her to take action to share her message of resiliency and empowerment.

Completing her Domestic Violence Training program with The WINGS Program and earning a certification in Sexual Assault through SACIS, Chantelle created the Survivor Testimony & Monologues (S.T.A.M.), a theatrical production sharing monologues depicting various scenarios of domestic violence incidents. S.T.A.M. has been hailed as an exceptional communicative vehicle dispelling myths, challenging stigmas, and addresses unanswered questions surrounding the topic

Becoming the author of two books, "Decisions," a fictional tale of real life experiences in an abusive relationship, and "Chained by Boundaries," a self help e-book that addresses the challenges with “fight or flight”, traumas, and denials of toxic relationships, Chantelle discovered her voice and life’s work This endeavor enthralled her into entrepreneurship, beginning her journey as a CEO with a mission and purpose.
