Erika Bryant is a showrunner, Emmy nominated television producer, film producer and songwriter. She has produced over 40 television shows and worked with ABC, Bravo, E!, Oxygen, OWN, MTV and Facebook networks during her 15 year matriculation in the entertainment world. She’s been a contributing producer on Emmy Award Winning Extreme Makeover Home Edition as well as Iyanla Fix My Life winner of multiple Image Awards.
Prior to her ticket to Hollywood, Erika began her exploration and ascension of the multi-media and entertainment ladder in Atlanta. While a sophomore at Clark Atlanta University she was offered the honor and herculean task of managing Patchwerk Recording Studios, home to national and international Grammy Award winning music artists. She was integral in the growth and expansion of the studio that led to amazing opportunities at LaFace Records (home to Usher, Toni Braxton, TLC, Outkast and Goodie Mob) and Hitco Music Publishing. Alongside her many accolades and commendations, Erika's love for music and writing earned her the coveted ASCAP 2003 Songwriter of the Year award presented by Heineken.
Erika's ambition and innate love of all things good and media related, eventually landed her at Tyler Perry's Studios coordinating the Diary of a Mad Black Woman Soundtrack as well as presiding as Mr. Perry’s executive assistant. In 2006 on the heels of that opportunity she was offered, what she believed would be, a two-month stint as a production assistant on America's Next Top Model. Those two months turned into a complete relocation to Los Angeles and the beginning of an entirely new career. Erika's time and the invaluable lessons she learned at Patchwerk, LaFace Records, Hitco, Tyler Perry Studios and America's Next Top Model would be the springboard that would launch her trajectory of a successful career in film and television. Since appearing on a couple dozen podcasts and radio shows in recent years Erika has unique experience as a woman of color in her field where representation has been largely nonexistent.
Being a producer on popular and well-known television programs such as Undercover Boss, Extreme Makeover Home Edition, America’s Next Top Model, Iyanla Fix My Life, Married to Medicine, Real Housewives of Atlanta, Family or Fiancé, Ready to Love and The Real World has given Erika a unique perspective in her industry. In that vein she’s interviewed nearly twenty thousand people for her shows arming her with a wealth of experience to pull from. Her access to celebrity and influencers spans far and wide as she’s maintained relationships with personalities who have become household names and a part of popular culture.
Further expanding her horizons Erika has recently written her first book in a budding series called Doing It Scared. In her freshman release, Erika carefully and thoughtfully guides readers on a journey toward confronting then conquering their fears by providing them with applicable practical tools and take-aways for better living.
