Alanah Nichole Davis (She/Her) is a Baltimore-raised, award-winning journalist. She’s currently the Chief Storyteller in Baltimore’s Mayor’s Office of Performance and Innovation where she uses storytelling to showcase the positive impact of Baltimore City Government on its communities. With experience as a Lead Reporter covering technology, design, and civic news, she has a knack for simplifying complex topics for a wide audience.

Beyond journalism, Davis is deeply involved in Baltimore's arts, land stewardship, and youth engagement efforts. Holding an MA in Social Design from Maryland Institute College of Art, she brings broad perspective and imagination to her work.

Known affectionately as Baltimore's Godmother, Alanah often hosts events, moderates panels, mentors, and speaks publicly, drawing from her identity as a Black woman, human-centered designer, and mother. In her free time, she enjoys sharing crabs with friends, swimming, and savoring a good mocktail.
