Jonathan Giles

Jonathan Giles is a boundary-pushing writer and cultural journalist whose work at EBONY explores the intersections of identity, legacy, joy, and social truth — often through the lens of Black celebrity, community activism, and art.

A genre-bender at heart, Jonathan brings his sharp observational wit and background as a comedian to every story he tells, weaving absurdity, reflection, and rhythm into his reporting. Intentionally telling stories that focus on people not places.

Whether covering sport events or exploring soulful travel through his “The Whiskey Flights” series, Jonathan writes with urgency, vulnerability, and style.
