Michael Amanor (Mikestyle): Creativity, Allyship & Building a Brand
This season is full of LGBTQ+ voices and perspectives, but today I wanted to include a conversation with one of my close friends and longtime allies. Michael may not be queer himself, but his story of creativity, identity, and showing up authentically still deeply resonates.
This week on She Comes With Baggage, I’m joined by the brilliant and stylish Michael Amanor—aka Mikestyle—a civil engineer by profession and a travel, fashion, and lifestyle creator by passion. Today’s episode is a reminder that allyship, creativity, and identity come in many forms. Michael’s journey of self-expression, representation, and showing up authentically as a Black creator deeply aligns with the heart of these conversations.
With over five years of content creation under his belt, Michael has built an impressive portfolio working with global brands and tourism boards—all while holding down a full-time job and launching Mikestyle Studios, a creative agency for digital storytelling.
