Your Qualifications:

🎙️ Hi, I’m Stephanie Zhong—Brand Storytelling & Human Design Expert

I’m a brand storyteller, Human Design coach, and former journalism and marketing director with over 20 years of experience helping purpose-driven leaders turn their lived wisdom into lasting impact. I’ve led campaigns and crafted narratives for mission-driven brands like Planned Parenthood and Teach For America—and now I help visionary coaches, creatives, and entrepreneurs align their voice, energy, and brand to grow sustainably, without burning out.

As host of The Brilliance Code podcast, I guide heart-led changemakers to use Human Design and personal storytelling as transformational tools—so they can lead with clarity, show up as their full selves, and magnetize the right opportunities. I’m also the creator of the Own Your Message framework and course, which helps women and BIPOC entrepreneurs clarify their message and confidently own what sets them apart.

My speaking work includes summits like SHECatalyst and Moxie Camp, where I share on topics like burnout recovery, brand visibility, and becoming a category of one. I hold an M.A. in Comparative Literature from UCLA, a dual B.A. in English and African American Studies from Indiana University, and have been featured in outlets like Reuters and The Washington Post Express.

If you’re looking to collaborate, invite a guest with deep roots in storytelling, social change, and soulful strategy—or just want to connect—I'd love to hear from you.
