Cloudy Zakrocki is a journalist, mentor, and author with a deep-rooted passion for language, identity, and self-expression. She studied German Studies, English Studies, and Art History at the University of Heidelberg, where she earned a Magister degree (Master’s equivalent), laying the foundation for her storytelling-driven career.

Cloudy began her career as a writer at LesMads, Germany’s first and most influential fashion blog, where she helped shape the country’s early digital media landscape. With a strong editorial voice and a deep understanding of culture, she rose to become editor-in-chief at Interview Germany and later Global Vice President for International Content & Brand Strategy at Refinery29 Germany. In these roles, she led teams, built cross-platform strategies, and redefined how modern media speaks to women—bold, inclusive, and ahead of the curve.

In 2024, Cloudy wrote her first book – a bold and empowering take on manifestation that’s deeply rooted in self-awareness, psychology, and neuroscience. With her unique voice, she redefines manifestation as a powerful way of life, based not on wishful thinking, but on clarity, mindset, and conscious action.
