Maimouna Siby is a Marketing Strategist at Squarespace who is driven by the power of meaningful partnerships and human to human storytelling that inspire and change people’s lives. She’s leveraged podcast sponsorships and branded content to showcase the myriad of ways Squarespace’s products empower people with creative ideas to succeed. She believes storytelling, in all its forms, is extremely powerful and that the most compelling forms of storytelling change our cultural environments, our behaviors, and ultimately human connection. Maimouna’s first love is for storytelling through digital mediums for companies that care and tell stories that matter. Her second love is for programming events where she brings people together to knowledge-share, connect, and give back. As founder and co-chair of Black at Squarespace, a business resource group, Maimouna’s created communal spaces, fostered meaningful partnerships, and planned engaging events for the black community inside and outside of Squarespace.

Maimouna double-majored in African American Studies and French Studies at Wesleyan University. After graduating she decided to take her love for studying and sharing narratives onto platforms with large reach and massive impact. As a first-generation Malian-American and Muslim woman she grew up not seeing herself or her community represented in any form of media and aims to gain the tools and skills to rectify this.
