Isabelle Noack (born as Reine Isabelle Kossa Noack on September 6, 1996), professionally known as Isabelle Noack or Isa Noack, is an African-European-American broadcast journalist, media entrepreneur, and Google executive known for her fearless storytelling, global advocacy, and emotionally resonant reporting. Born in Brazzaville, Republic of the Congo, during a period of war, political unrest and humanitarian crisis, Noack’s career has been shaped by early exposure to inequality, displacement, and the resilience of marginalized communities.

She is the founder of Isabelle International, a cross-continental media and strategy agency, and the host of an award‑winning YouTube series dedicated to showcasing the untold beauty, brilliance, and entrepreneurial spirit of Africa. Noack has reported for Euronews, ARD, ITN, and other international broadcasters, gaining recognition for her coverage of politics, economics, social justice, and innovation across the United States, Europe, and Africa.

Early Life and Education

Isabelle Noack was born in Brazzaville amid civil and political conflict in the Republic of the Congo. Her early life was marked by instability, violence, and forced migration - circumstances that shaped both her worldview and journalistic voice. Raised between France, Germany, and the United States, she identifies as a proud third‑culture child, dual‑citizen and is fluent in English, French, and German.

She attended Natomas High School in Sacramento, California before studying broadcast journalism at California State University, Long Beach, financing her higher education independently after the sudden loss of her father while abroad. Her upbringing - shaped by grief, faith, resilience, and relentless ambition - continues to inform her work and her dedication to amplifying underrepresented voices.

Baptized in Africa as a newborn, Noack began attending church by her own choice at the age of seven and credits her strength and success to God. She openly shares that she seeks to love and serve God, herself, and others in everything she does.

Career

Journalism and Broadcasting

Noack began her journalistic journey at university, hosting a live international radio show on KBeach Radio, where she interviewed guests from around the world. She also contributed to her university’s television station before entering the international media landscape.

Her career accelerated with a role at Euronews, where she covered global events including the Trump presidency, European elections, and key moments in transatlantic diplomacy. Her 2018 story “Trump empfängt Macron als ersten Staatschef” (“Trump Welcomes Macron as First State Guest”) remains one of the network’s most‑viewed diplomatic video reports.

In 2019, Noack conducted an on‑camera interview with Nj Ayuk - recognized by Forbes as one of Africa’s most influential figures and author of *Billions at Play: The Future of African Energy and Doing Deals* - in which they discussed energy, entrepreneurship, and Africa’s economic future.

She went on to report for ARD, ITN, and Sat.1–Frühstücksfernsehen, delivering on‑camera reports and exclusive interviews from cities such as Kuala Lumpur, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and Nairobi. Her emotionally intelligent reporting, cross‑cultural fluency, and dynamic camera presence have earned her recognition in the U.S., Europe, and across Africa.

Isabelle International and YouTube Impact

In 2022, Noack founded Isabelle International, a creative studio and strategic communications agency serving clients across three continents. Through this platform, she provides digital strategy, storytelling, and global brand positioning for mission-driven clients.

Her YouTube channel, which aims to "show the side of Africa the world doesn’t see," has garnered viral attention for its striking visuals, poetic narration, and authentic storytelling. Her video features on Ghana, Ethiopia, and Kenya have received widespread praise, particularly for their blend of facts, emotion, and empowerment.

Her coverage of Detty December in Ghana and collaborations with embassies and local creators have positioned her as a rising voice in digital diplomacy, Afro‑optimism, and global journalism.

Advocacy and Values

Noack is a survivor of multiple injustices and a lifelong advocate for social justice, anti‑racism, inclusive feminism, and mental health awareness. She is outspoken about the importance of centering the experiences of victims - particularly children and those in gendered or power‑imbalanced contexts - and often uses her platform to challenge systemic silence around abuse and exploitation.

Her advocacy work combines education reform, human rights, and diversity in tech and media. She has volunteered with children’s hospitals, led successful Change.org campaigns to free wrongfully incarcerated individuals, and worked with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of America while training for and completing a marathon in Seattle, Washington.

Noack frequently supports and mentors young Black people, creatives, and other marginalized individuals, using her platforms to elevate their stories.

Personal Life

Known for her distinctive voice - both literally and metaphorically - Noack splits her time between Berlin, London, West Africa, and Los Angeles. She is fiercely private but playfully present on social media, where she blends warmth with wit, and regularly captions her stories with phrases like "life is tough but so are you, mon bébé."

She abstains from alcohol, drugs, and smoking, despite having been involuntarily exposed to all three in traumatic circumstances. Spiritually grounded, family‑oriented, and introspective, Noack has expressed a desire to build a nurturing home life while continuing to inspire millions through her work in media, mindfulness, and movement.
