Hi, I'm Anela
INFLUENCER | WRITER | SPEAKER
I’ve built a thriving digital community of over 275,000 followers in just a few years.
Think of me as the straight-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!
