About Anastazia

Anastazia Manguerra Cyrus is a media visionary, cultural strategist, and advocate for ethical storytelling. Born in California and raised in Brooklyn, New York, she understands firsthand how creative expression shapes both individual identity and collective legacy. Her work operates at the intersection of media, representation, and spiritual growth—rooted in the belief that stories are sacred tools for healing, visibility, and generational impact.

Anastazia’s journey began with the publication of her first book, Lost in Translation, a project that ignited her calling to help artists and changemakers communicate their visions with clarity and conviction. Since then, she has evolved into a multifaceted storyteller and public speaker, using her platform to amplify the voices of those often silenced or overlooked. Her media company, Unheard Harmonies, was founded to transform the narratives of Black creatives into symphonies of legacy, artistry, and advocacy. Its flagship campaign, The Unwritten Legacy, explores creative erasure, gatekeeping, and cultural equity in fashion, media, and entertainment.

Anastazia has hosted and collaborated with brands such as Amazon Prime, PepsiCo x Mary J. Blige, Nike x POD Digital Media, and The White House through Vice President Kamala Harris’s Fight for Our Freedoms Tour. She has served as a correspondent for the 2025 Met Gala, the Strength of a Woman Scholarship Celebration, and the Cousinz Festival, where she interviewed artists like Pusha T and Famlay.

Beyond media, Anastazia is committed to holistic development and career mentorship for emerging leaders. She serves as the Director of Career Planning and Professional Development for Black is Gold University and is the Lead Coordinator of the Brand Yo(U) Conference, a platform designed to help creatives and students align their personal brand with purpose.

Her mission remains consistent: to be a voice for the unheard, a bridge between artistry and advocacy, and a steward of stories that might otherwise go untold. You can follow her ongoing journey through her multimedia series, Growth of a Woman, available on her website, Instagram, and YouTube.
