IMANI STEPHENS
A storyteller at heart, Imani blends journalism and strategic communications to create stories that engage and inspire.
Originally from Los Angeles, California, she began her career as a multimedia journalist, gaining experience in markets such as Los Angeles, Bakersfield, CA, Washington D.C., Phoenix, and New York, where she developed compelling, community-focused content. Highly creative and experimental, she once produced a feature on a woman with a holiday collection of over 500 nutcracker figurines, shooting video with a Sony XD camera, GoPro, and iPhone, writing the script, editing the footage, and producing web copy entirely on her own.
Imani is now a Senior Communications Associate at a national nonprofit organization, crafting media campaigns and content that highlight programs in the climate, justice, and tech industries. She also draws on her experience in fashion and beauty storytelling to engage audiences and translate insights into memorable content.
Known for her curiosity, adaptability, and proactive approach, Imani thrives on collaboration and turning ideas into stories that resonate, inspire, and drive impact.
