Founder of MeFeater: Gabrielle Amani
But she turned that plan on its head when she launched MEFEater in 2012, calling it “an act of rebellion” and using it as a space to express her creativity.
At just 20 years old, Gabrielle was already making waves on Wall Street, quickly moving up from social marketing manager to head of marketing at a hospitality company. Still, corporate life didn’t feel right, and something new was calling. After prayer, family talks, and some bold steps, she launched MEFEater Magazine with helpful support from her mother.
Along the way, she’s seen major success, gained industry respect, and learned hard lessons about leadership, growth, and accountability. Today, she’s expanded MEFEater into an agency, working with top-tier clients and providing services that uplift others. Gabrielle is looking forward to motherhood and continuing her entrepreneurial journey. Her advice to young creatives is to be self-aware, stay focused on your niche, and prioritize balance through self-care and faith.
