For over 20 years, Stephaney Bolden has been working to help individuals develop the skills necessary to become their own boss. She has utilized the skills she acquired in administration, project management and supervision to advance in her field of business development.

Stephaney has worked with numerous partners to promote economic growth in the community. She has conducted educational workshops focused on teaching entrepreneurs to improve credit, gain access to capital and establish the right relationships to advance their businesses.

Stephaney has been able to penetrate markets that previously lacked or had few avenues to access capital and has helped hundreds of businesses to gain the capital needed for their business. She has guided business owners through the process of formulating, registering and documenting transactions in their business. She has managed a portfolio of over $100,000 per month while being a support and mentor to numerous entrepreneurs throughout the states of Louisiana, Alabama, Tennessee, Arkansas and Georgia.

In 2020, She authored Business: Plain & Simple, a workbook focused on helping start-up businesses easily maneuver the process of registering their business, establish business credit and access business capital.

In December of 2024 she launched her company, Bold Changes Property Maintenance, which focuses on transforming homes and businesses with expert window and pressure washing services and landscaping too! She decided to enter this space after searching for a local window cleaner for her own home and could not find one nearby. Utilizing the skills she learned assisting small businesses, her sales background and partnership building,she now seeks out leads and utilizes experienced professionals to perform many of these services. Her goal is to become an Angie's List for the East Atlanta community. She also provides exposure for the businesses that she services on her social media platforms allowing them to grow their client reach.

While growing Bold Changes, in November of 2025, she created East Collaboration Trade Show which is a platform that allows small businesses an avenue to showcase their products and services in an expo environment.

Her vision is to provide small businesses the same opportunities being offered in midtown Atlanta without the high cost. She brings together various businesses to network, access resources to grow their businesses, connect with numerous clients and get exposure that they might not on their own. She is currently planning a Home and Garden show.

This will be held at the Conyer's International Horse Park on March 28, 2026. Attendees and vendors can register at www.eastcollab.com. This is also a great opportunity for sponsors to grow their business as they will be promoted on billboards, in print and on numerous social media platforms. Stephaney will offer subsequent trade shows centered on money, procurement, understanding export and import and much more.
