Emerald-Jane Hunter, Founder and Ringleader, myWHY Agency
Compass Coffee Talk™ continues its showcase of diverse business leaders throughout the natural, organic and sustainable products industry by welcoming Emerald-Jane Hunter, Founder and Ringleader of myWHY Agency. Beginning her life in Ghana, West Africa, she developed a fearless business mentality, leading her to become a four-time Emmy Award-winning TV Producer and a master of media, marketing and storytelling.
Emerald-Jane’s passions are carried out every day through her vision at myWHY Agency, including influencer/ social media/ content marketing, PR/ media relations, brand strategy and a commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. The Chicago-based agency has become a national leader in empowering purpose-driven brands and minority-owned enterprises. From the start of her work at myWHY Agency, Hunter strived to expand the firm’s positive impact on the natural products industry by transforming the traditional food system and increasing the accessibility of healthy products to all people. To carry out this mission, myWHY Agency is a proud solutions partner with the J.E.D.I. Collaborative and currently serves on the J.E.D.I. (Justice Equity Diversity Inclusion) Content Advisory Council for Informa Markets.
About Emerald-Jane Hunter
Emerald-Jane Hunter has spent 20+ years of experience creating stories that seize the spotlight. She is a four-time Emmy award-winning producer and master of all things storytelling. Born in Ghana, West Africa, she relocated to the U.S. at the age of 19, where she discovered that her “WHY” was storytelling. This was the catalyst for a long career as a producer, production manager, and talent booker across a wide range of national and local broadcast media. As President of myWHY Agency, EJ is passionate about empowering purpose-driven brands and women-owned enterprises, and enabling authentic conversations that not only drive awareness and business growth, but also include commitments around DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) initiatives for her clients.
EJ serves on the board of Female Strong — an organization that offers hands-on programs, mentorship, and experiences targeted toward building confidence in middle and high-school age girls. She also serves on the J.E.D.I. Content Advisory Council for Informa Markets — ensuring that there's justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion in the organic and natural products space, and that this is being reflected in the stories being shared. Additionally, EJ is an alumna and cohort ambassador for the Goldman Sachs 10KSB program — an investment from Goldman Sachs to help 10,000 small businesses grow and create jobs by providing them with greater access to education, capital, and business support services.
