Danae Mercer
Journalist, Influencer, Public Speaker, and founder of the Real Confidence Project
Danae Mercer is a journalist who found her real subject somewhere along the way.
Her words have run in CNN, The Sunday Times, and Travel + Leisure, and she has stood at the front of rooms as a speaker often enough to know how to hold one. But the thing she built with her own name on it is the Real Confidence Project, and that is where the rest of the story bends toward.
She was Editor-in-Chief of both Women's Health Middle East and Men's Health Middle East, which is to say she spent years inside the machinery that tells people what their bodies are supposed to look like. She knows how the image gets made because she used to help make it. That is what gives her work its edge now.
She reaches well over two million people daily through her platforms with content that pulls the curtain back on all of it, and she carries the same argument into keynotes and workshops for schools, universities, and organisations around the world Through her Real Confidence keynotes and workshops.
