I’m Anela Malik.
​
I tell stories that create real-world impact.
As a National Geographic author and host of Our Block, I turn culture, food, and travel into catalysts for connection and change.​

Speaking
From festivals to boardrooms, I bring layered, culturally grounded stories to life with humor, heart, and expertise. ​
​
Some of my signature talks:
​​​​
-
Authenticity is the Strategy — how creators and brands can stand out in a crowded market where trust is currency.
​
-
American Soul — the untold story of how Black food shaped the way America eats, gathers, and remembers.​
​
-
The Art of the Pivot — How letting go and taking bold leaps shaped a, from diplomacy to a multi-six-figure business owner.
​​
-
Beyond the Feed — how digital storytelling drives real-world impact including how I sold $95K from one email and crowdfunded $65k during uncertain economic times. ​
Brand Partnerships

Partnerships that convert. Strategic campaigns that make sense.
My audience is overwhelmingly millennial, the generation shaping cultural taste and driving today’s spending power.
Millennials are not just engaged, they’re influential, and they spend where it matters:
​
-
30% of their income goes to dining out.​​
-
83% engage in values-based shopping.​
-
Will outspend every other generation on luxury goods, dining, travel, and entertainment.
