Nana Agyemang, BA '16

Nana Agyemang is a multimedia journalist who has worked for ELLE Magazine, New York Times, BBC News. She fell in love with glossy fashion magazines as a toddler. 

As part of her continued passion to display diversity in the fashion industry, she created EveryStylishGirl as an Instagram blog in July 2016. As the blog rapidly grew, she brought on a team to scale the blog into a multimedia platform for women to connect and build their brands.

By the time she reached high school she realized that the women on those pages didn’t reflect what she saw in the mirror. Once she noticed there was a lack of women of color in the fashion industry, she set out to change the narrative. 

Her focus on telling stories around diversity in the fashion industry led Nana to attend Columbia University for her Masters in Multimedia Journalism.

In 2017 Columbia University awarded her with the Journalism Editorial Award for her editorial work on discrimination in the modeling industry at ELLE Magazine. 

As part of her continued passion to display diversity in the fashion industry, she created EveryStylishGirl as an Instagram blog in July 2016. As the blog rapidly grew, she brought on a team to scale the blog into a multimedia platform for women to connect and build their brands.

In addition to running EveryStylishGirl , Nana loves to report on fashion activism and female entrepreneurs.
