Quiana M. Shepard
Strategic Storyteller | Comms + Marketing Maven | Advocate for Representation & Real Connection

About Me
I’m a strategic storyteller at heart who believes words can inspire action, build connection and spark real change. My mission is simple: to help people and brands see their worth and step boldly into their purpose.
As director of communications and marketing at a nationally-ranked university, I lead an incredible team that turns ideas into impact. Together, we craft stories that celebrate the brilliance of our students, faculty and alumni while honoring the legacy of one of the nation’s leading historically Black colleges and universities.
For more than 17 years, I’ve built a career centered on purpose and people: partnering with brands like P&G, Target and Sanofi US to create campaigns that connect authentically and make a difference. Whether I’m developing a communications strategy or mentoring the next generation of storytellers, I’m driven by the same goal: to leave people and places better than I found them.
A proud Howard University graduate with a master’s from the University of Georgia, I balance my creative energy with travel, mentoring teens and the occasional kickboxing session.
