Long before stepping into “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” fame, Courtney Rhodes was running things in the corporate world. Per her LinkedIn, Rhodes, a graduate of Mass Communications from Morgan State University, kicked off her career in 2003 when she started working as an account manager at iHeartMedia. Two promotions and over six years later, Rhodes left the company to work as an Account Executive at Meredith Corporation. Rhodes however made a return to iHeart in 2015, this time as a Senior Brand Consultant. In 2017, she eventually left to set up C&D | The Agency, her own Business Consulting and Management firm.
Speaking to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in 2020, Rhodes and her co-founder Dina Marto opened up about how they hope to revolutionize business marketing as well as their mission with the brand. “The best way to unite and save the world is to put women in charge,” Rhodes said. “It’s no secret women get things done. We’re coming together to be leaders in this movement.”

In addition to her corporate background, Rhodes also has a creative side which she explores through her jewelry brand Courtney Raquel, of which she doubles as the founder and creative director. “My life is a continual journey of seeking and searching for a moving target: a deeper, more intimate, and fulfilling relationship with my inner self, potential, and freedom,” she wrote of herself on the company’s website.
