Meet Tapeka Fennell-Francis of BrownStar Media House | Recently recognized by the 2025 Best of Georgia

Today we’d like to introduce you to Tapeka Fennell-Francis.

Tapeka, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
The Masterclass in the Pivot: Since establishing my media firm in 2015, my journey has been a masterclass in the power of the pivot. Known professionally as Tapeka Fennell-Francis | Media and Marketing Maven™, I have spent the last decade refining a narrative of excellence that is as disciplined as it is soulful. My path has taken me from being honored as one of the Top Women in Alabama Media in 2019 to building an award-winning legacy here in Georgia. It is a story rooted in faith and obedience – a testimony of what happens when a creative powerhouse decides to lead with intentionality and walk in her calling.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Rejecting the Grind The most significant challenge was not the external landscape, but the internal decision to reject the traditional “grind” culture. Choosing a “soft” life in a high-pressure industry was a revolutionary act. I had to learn how to lead from a place of settled peace rather than pressure, ensuring that my professional output was always fueled by a vibrant spirit. Navigating this transition required an unwavering commitment to wellness and mental well-being, proving that professional success and personal harmony are not mutually exclusive.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
The Architecture of Alignment: At BrownStar Media House, we specialize in the Architecture of Alignment. We don’t just manage public personas; we orchestrate them. By aligning a client’s values with sophisticated public relations and content strategy, we ensure every narrative is recognizable, impactful, and built to endure. My work is anchored by a singular promise: Media that Moves. Marketing that Matters.™ I focus on the “Whole Leader,” helping visionary brands amplify their influence while maintaining their internal integrity.

What are your plans for the future?
The Evolution of Excellence: My future plans are centered on the evolution of influence. As BrownStar Media House continues to grow, I am increasingly focused on the intersection of professional success and personal alignment. I am currently architecting a new series of initiatives and lifestyle extensions designed to help high-level visionaries lead from a place of wholeness. My mission is to establish a legacy where excellence is not just a result, but a standard of living. I look forward to revealing more as these projects come to fruition, proving that when a leader is truly centered, their impact is limitless.
