ABOUT UMC

Hi, I’m Chanell Smith Bradford, the proud founder of Universal Mom Chanell (UMC). As a mom of four—two boys and two girls aged 5 to 10—I understand the joys and challenges that come with parenting. I’m married to actor Roderick Bradford Jr., who is also a talented NY talent manager, and together we navigate the beautiful chaos of family life.

I have a deep passion for fitness and love working with families to promote healthy lifestyles. My journey began at the University of Connecticut, where I was fortunate to earn a full scholarship as an athlete. Now, as a coach, I strive to inspire others to embrace wellness and physical activity.

In addition to my work with UMC, I’m also a commercial actress and a certified preschool educator. I take immense pride in offering high-quality enrichment classes throughout Westchester, where I focus on bringing families together and creating meaningful experiences.
