Gloria Akinnibosun is a first-gen Nigerian-American creative passionate about marketing rooted in transcendent storytelling. With years of personal and professional experience, she’s helped scale microbrands to higher visibility like Equalman Studios and The Franky Collective, and led intentional, diverse campaigns within tech, via Google, and within beauty, via Sephora. Inspired by Denzel Washington’s career and conviction, she aims to create lasting narratives that challenge convention and center underrepresented voices. Outside of work, she explores Oakland and San Francisco’s open mic scenes, where she shares poetry and reflects on Blackness—its beauty, its ache, and its unrelenting hope.
