Hi, I'm Anela

INFLUENCER | WRITER | SPEAKER

I’ve built a thriving digital community of over 400,000 followers in just a few years.

Think of me as the straig
ht-talking anxious adventurer just trying to make it work. I help millennials like myself embrace nuance, imperfection, and wonder in an incredibly complex world through food, travel, and the everyday mundane.

​

People want real recommendations and thoughtful conversations (remember that de-influencing trend?). That's what Feed The Malik is all about!
