Biography

Alani is a journalist and is the Associate Editor, Lifestyle at Parade. She graduated from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism in 2018. She was recently freelancing full-time, contributing to The Daily Beast, Static Media, The Chicago Reader, and INTO. She also attended the 2023 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, UT with the Sundance Institute's Press Inclusion Initiative, writing film reviews for The Playlist. In the past, she's contributed to The A.V. Club, writing for their news section and reviewing The CW's 'Batwoman.' Her work can also be found on Vogue, Bitch Media, POPSUGAR, Remezcla, and more. She worked under Netflix's editorial umbrella for their site, Tudum, from 2021-2022. When it comes to freelancing, she writes mostly entertainment or pop culture-related articles, with the lens of a queer, woman of color. But lifestyle (sex and relationships, wellness, and travel) is a passion of hers, too. Other previous sites in her portfolio include Bustle, Insider, Refinery29, Elite Daily, and The Chicago Tribune. She's a fangirl at heart and can talk your ear off about Buffy, Star Wars, or 'Twilight' (yes, 'Twilight'). Coffee, wine, and Daenerys Targaryen hold a special place in her heart (yes, still).
