Ariana Santiago-Thomas has a host of expertise as a creative strategist who leverages communications and marketing to connect organizations to causes and communities. All of her talents stem from being really good at two things: strategy and storytelling. With over 14 years of communications experience, she has worked with global, national, and local brands across industries and social impact issues. Her proven track record has helped organizations bring transformational products and programs to market that positively benefit and impact the communities they serve. Her gift for storytelling and writing allows her to lean into creative approaches to capture and disseminate brand narratives. Ariana has been fortunate to build her professional and civic leadership by expanding access to resources for Black and Brown communities. She is fueled by the belief that marginalized communities deserve access to a choice-filled life. NBCDI is thrilled to have Ariana join the league of change agents as the Director of Communications.
