EXPLORER.
STORY TELLER.
CURIOUS BY NATURE.

Jonathan Giles blends storytelling, travel, and deeply human curiosity to explore how people find belonging, especially in places that may not feel like home. Rather than observing life from a distance, he engages it fully—tasting, listening, moving, and participating until insight emerges. On page and onstage, he shapes real moments into honest narratives with warmth, nuance, and humor that make room for truth.

WHO AM I?

From stories to strategy, Jonathan Giles is a writer, editor and
producer building a body of work where curiosity drives, and humanity leads.

He currently leads sports coverage at EBONY, using the arena as a lens for culture, identity, and community—while building original work across essays,
live storytelling, podcast, and screen.
