Malaika is a strategic storyteller and multidisciplinary media professional with over 5 years of experience shaping narratives across editorial, live events, and digital platforms. They combine editorial expertise with production savvy. Writing copy, managing communications, and directing multi-platform campaigns that grow audiences and amplify underrepresented voices in cultural and nonprofit spaces.

As a producer, they bring ideas to life from concept to curtain call, balancing logistics, budget and artistry to create inclusive, unforgettable live experiences. As a photographer, videographer and editor, she captures and crafts visual stories that extend those experiences beyond the room. She’s equally comfortable in front of and behind the camera, behind the byline or behind the strategy, and she brings the same care to all three: making sure people feel related, connected and represented in the final product

Malaika’s creative work as a DJ and multidisciplinary artist lives under the name Mystic PenFlo.
