WELCOME TO UNFILTERED & FED
Your most opinionated friend’s guide to living your wildest life. Honest answers, no hedging. For women who eat well, travel intentionally, and show the fuck up.
WHAT DO I GET WITH A SUBSCRIPTION?
Free subscribers get three drops a month — weekly essays, guides, and trip dispatches. One real take on the thing that matters that week. Food, travel, dating, ambition, culture, all of it.
Paid subscribers get everything free subscribers get, plus:
The Inner Circle — a monthly subscriber-only drop with Plugged In (five curated picks for living your best life right now) and Between Us (one spicy question, one honest answer via voice note, no hedging).
Early access to group trips before they open to the public.
Bonus essays when something is too good or too personal for the full list.
Founding Members get everything paid subscribers get, plus:
Guaranteed first access to every group trip and experience. The trips sell out fast — you’re first through the door.
Founder-only trip discounts. The discount pays for the membership.
WHO AM I?
I’m Anela Malik — National Geographic author, two-time NAACP Image Award nominee, former diplomat, and a curse word connoisseur. I wrote American Soul: The Black History of Food in the United States because someone had to tell that story right. I’m also the founder of Unfiltered & Fed, where I host sold-out group trips, supper clubs, and experiences for women who refuse to shrink.
I’m multilingual, tattooed, hold a graduate degree from Georgetown, will eat almost anything, and am the friend with whom plans always make it out of the group chat. I read a lot of romance and smut (shoutout to Black authors doing the most), but also love a serious documentary or political history.
This space is where all of that comes together. If you’re here for honest storytelling, deep flavors, and culture-rich conversations — you’re in the right place. Let’s figure it out together.
