Human-Centered Digital Creator Showcasing South Bay Brands & People
Heart-led, story-driven content elevating South Bay businesses, nonprofits, and community members.
Hi, I’m Megan!
I’m a storyteller, creator, and podcast host connecting with and uplifting the people and places that make the South Bay shine.
South Bay Buzz started as my passion for sharing stories and has grown into a trusted platform for connection. I highlight the people, businesses, and events that make this community uniquely ours — sparking pride, joy, and belonging for locals and visitors alike.
The South Bay is a special community where dynamic people from diverse backgrounds are doing amazing, impactful things—EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
My mission is to showcase their incredible stories—and create heartfelt connection in the process.
