27: How to Become a Full-Time Content Creator with Anela Malik of Feed the Malik

Many people think that the only way to monetize your blog is with ads, sponsors, and affiliates–but what if that’s not a fit for your business? Patreon is a membership platform that makes it easy for artists and creators to get paid for their work. It allows content creators like artists, musicians, and influencers to focus on their work full-time with the support of their patrons. For fans, the site is a good way of funding the work of your favorite creators, while also getting rewards in return. If you’ve never thought about using Patreon as a way to monetize your blog, today’s conversation just might change your mind! Plus, with the political and social justice climate of 2020, a lot more people are highlighting BIPOC voices than ever before. While uplifting marginalized voices is a beautiful thing, it can also be done in ways that are exploitive–so today, we’re talking about what NOT to do when amplifying BIPOC voices. My guest today, Anela Malik, is a food writer and advocate based in Washington, D.C. Malik’s work focuses on highlighting marginalized voices in food through her blog and Instagram, Feed the Malik, founded in 2018. Her platforms highlight the perspectives and contributions of women, immigrants, and the LGBTQ and Black communities in food culture and history. Recently, Malik has worked to uplift Black-owned food businesses in the DMV. She created the first comprehensive database of D.C.-area Black-owned restaurants open during COVID and launched a service connecting local Black-owned food businesses to free resources and expertise to help them survive and thrive. Malik’s work has been featured in publications, including The Washington Post, The Washingtonian, and Washington City Paper.   What you’ll learn in this episode:  How do you find unrecognized stories in the food and restaurant industry? How to make the leap from a passion project to full-time blogging How to use Patreon, a monthly subscription site, to monetize your business What’s more important and valuable than the size of your audience and the algorithm Exploring People Of Color during Black Lives Matter, and how NOT to amplify black voices The politics of food and how it represents the power to change A business idea for restaurants during COVID    Subscribe and Review Thanks so much for joining me this week.

17: Improve your food photography skills with food blogger Anela Malik

When Anela Malik posted an honest, fair, nuanced review of a local restaurant that departed a little bit from the narrative repeated in most outlets, I thought: “I want to hear more from this woman.” Anela makes that easy by sharing freely about her sourdough baking, her workout regimen, bright red wedding dress, cats, AND her takes on how to support marginalized populations when we go out to eat. I was fascinated by her tagline, “Food is political”, because frankly, I wasn’t even sure what that meant. So, I reached out to hear from Anela about all about her dad, a resourceful and talented cook, cooking competitions with her siblings, her experiences living as an Expat in the Middle East that were the catalyst to start her blog, her “maximalist” but simple approach to cooking, and of course: this intriguing statement: “Food is political.” Thrilled to welcome Anela to the show today.Listen to Anela NowHighlights of This EpisodeFood blogging as a vehicle for advocacy 	"The best stories I've encountered have had to do with food" 	What does it mean: "Food is political"?

In this time, FeedTheMalik went viral, Anela quit her job, and National Geographic tagged her to write a book about the Black contribution to American Cuisine!! Tune in here:

When Anela Malik posted an honest, fair, nuanced review of a local restaurant that departed a little bit from the narrative repeated in most outlets, I thought: “I want to hear more from this woman.” Anela makes that easy by sharing freely about her sourdough baking, her workout regimen, bright red wedding dress, cats, AND her takes on how to support marginalized populations when we go out to eat. I was fascinated by her tagline, “Food is political”, because frankly, I wasn’t even sure what that meant. So, I reached out to hear from Anela about all about her dad, a resourceful and talented cook, cooking competitions with her siblings, her experiences living as an Expat in the Middle East that were the catalyst to start her blog, her “maximalist” but simple approach to cooking, and of course: this intriguing statement: “Food is political.” Thrilled to welcome Anela to the show today.
