About Morganne

Morganne Norwood is a writer, communications strategist and creative storyteller, and a partner at Leo Operations. Her work explores the people, institutions and ideas shaping today's communities, from culture, education and faith to public affairs, entrepreneurship and the leaders creating meaningful change.

Throughout her career, Morganne has written and designed feature stories, magazines, newsletters, press releases, campaign messaging, executive communications, event coverage and editorial content for higher education institutions, government projects, nonprofits, faith-based ministries and political leaders. Her work draws on experience in public relations, digital media, brand strategy and audience engagement, so she approaches every story with a writer's curiosity and a strategist's eye.

At Leo Operations she helps organizations and public figures tell their stories with clarity, purpose and authenticity. Her work includes The Graduate, Tennessee State University's 54-page alumni spotlight magazine, along with communications for the Tennessee Higher Education Initiative, Cathedral of Praise, Carollo Engineers and the Advancing Metro Water project, political campaigns and nationally recognized faith-based organizations.

Born and raised in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and now based in Nashville, Morganne earned her degree in Political Science from Tennessee State University and interned at the Tennessee General Assembly, where she saw up close how policy and public messaging meet. She is especially passionate about lifting up voices, accomplishments and community stories that too often get overlooked, and she contributes to Washington DC Magazine.
