Complete Bio
Growing up between the metropolitan area of Washington, D.C. and the Bronx, NY, Malika Bellamy was always a city girl at heart with a passion for connecting and sharing stories. With the natural gift of gab, she’s an organic communicator that builds engaging, fun, and meaningful relationships with care and substance.

To hone this gift, she hung up her dancing shoes, and set off to earn her Bachelor’s of Arts degree in Communications and Public Relations at the illustrious Clark Atlanta University in Atlanta, GA. Experiencing so many new people from vast cultural backgrounds and exploring a new environment, caused her love for the arts and beauty to soar to new heights.

In her 15+ year career, which spans governmental policy work, project management and strategy, she soon found herself in a space where desired more – and was eager to reconnect more deeply to her life’s foundation of art, beauty and fashion. And what better place to realize this new career journey than her other home, New York City. Just days after marrying, she and her new partner took the risky leap and started anew in the Big Apple.

Since shifting gears in New York city, Malika has had the joy and privilege of lending her communications and marketing expertise to brands like Estee Lauder, Moet Hennessy and a number of other luxury brands and small business.

With a progressive and pragmatic approach, she continues to collaborate with luxury and consumer goods brands to ensure the execution and proactive management of PR, communications and media plans, guiding project flow, procurement & distribution, and creative strategy. Additionally, she continues to shepherd the development of evocative marketing activities, including local and regional events, diversity and inclusion activations, and an array of consumer engagement initiatives.
