Tanisha Quilter-Williams graduated from California State University as a Broadcast Journalism major and went on to work at E! Entertainment, Inside Edition, and US Weekly to name a few. Working in the trenches at some of Hollywood’s top companies fostered her creativity and inspired Tanisha to obtain a MFA in Creative Writing. In 2021, she turned her drama/comedy pilot “Forties AF,” about three 40-something single friends who pick up the pieces their thirties left behind into a drama fiction podcast. To-date, Forties AF has garnered more than 150,000 downloads with a minimal marketing ad budget. The podcast was chosen to participate in Gotham Pitch Week 2021 and was nominated as Best Fiction Podcast by the Podcast Awards-People’s Choice. Tanisha is currently working on Season 3 of Forties AF and creating a writer’s room to give other writers exposure. Recently, Tanisha was highlighted in Deadline for being chosen to participate as a mentee in the Black Boy Writes & Black Girl Writes Mentorship Initiative presented by writer Mike Gauyo (Insecure, Ginny & Georgia), in partnership with Stage 32, and with support from Culture Creative Entertainment, M88, and Final Draft.
