BIOGRAPHY / CARLA MORRISON

Carla Morrison is setting the pace for future entrepreneurs; she is a serial entrepreneur who has developed a boutique public relations company, Chit Chat Communications, and a nonprofit organization, Sisters of Today and Tomorrow, that empowers women and girls across the globe.

Through Sisters of Today and Tomorrow (SOT), Carla has brought together women and girls from all walks of life, empowering over 5,000 youth and adults.

A proud native of New Haven, Connecticut, Morrison has been a resident of Atlanta, Georgia, for over 25 years. She currently travels between the two cities, organizing empowerment programs for girls.

Bowie State University (BSU) is where Ms. Morrison was trained to pursue a career in Journalism. In 1992, Morrison graduated from the university, and was employed by Black Beat Magazine, in New York City, as an Assistant Editor. Morrison has also written articles and published content on entertainers, sports figures, and community events for other national and local publications, including the Inner City Newspaper, The Atlanta Voice and Jet Magazine. And she has also authored the book, “WE ARE THE Village”, with members and supporters of “Sisters of Today and Tomorrow”.

As Ms. Morrison matured, she went from journalist to publicist, to youth advocate.

As CEO of Chit Chat Communications, Morrison secured her first major client, NFL great Cornelius Bennett (Buffalo Bills / Atlanta Falcons / Indiana Colts).  Morrison strategically developed and executed Mr. Bennett’s entire publicity and community efforts, raising his profile by 30%, as she did for other Atlanta Falcons’ players, radio personalities, films and film festivals, as well as civil rights leaders, including Rev. Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Push Atlanta organization and Hosea Feed the Hungry.

A proud member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated, with an affinity to her Connecticut chapter, Morrison often lends her public relations and social media expertise to her Connecticut chapter, pushing the agenda of Zeta forward. Carla is also the PR Chair for Bowie State University National Alumni Association and former PR Chair Atlanta Association of Black Journalist (AABJ), President of the Board of Directors for the “Friends of Auburn Avenue Research Library on African American Culture & History” in Atlanta, and a former Board Member of Walter Pop Smith Little League Baseball in New Haven.
