NADIA IS ON A MISSION.

 

Her creative debut, “Am I Too African to be American, Too American to be African,” was a cultural moment—a film that sparked global conversations on Black identity and belonging. Featuring Issa Rae, it resonated with Afro-millennials navigating the complexities of dual heritage.

She later expanded her storytelling with #BCuzSheSaidSo, an experiential art activation, and #13AlbumsTo31, a bold visual campaign inspiring Black women to own their identity without apology.

Now, she’s taking storytelling even further with "Roots & Revelry", an upcoming travel documentary exploring culture, sisterhood, and legacy in the African diaspora. Set against West Africa’s vibrant Detty December, the film follows women reconnecting with their heritage while redefining home.

Beyond media, Nadia is driving change through Humanize My Child, a groundbreaking platform supporting neurodivergent children and families. By leveraging AI and community-driven advocacy, the project bridges gaps in education, healthcare, and policy, ensuring inclusivity at every level.

Through her creative ventures & entrepreneurial spirit, Nadia has worked with Issa Rae, Luvvie Ajayi, Jose Antonio Vargas, Viacom, Nielsen, UBS, Peace Corps, and the United Nations. She has shared her expertise across The White House, The Smithsonian, and top universities, using storytelling as a tool for transformation, connection, and lasting impact.

Armed with a Ph.D. from Cornell University, Nadia brings expert insight & consulting to TV, film, and media projects exploring the African Diaspora. Whether through executive producing, brand storytelling, or cultural strategy, her work is about disrupting outdated narratives and building a future where media is diverse, dynamic, and deeply impactful.

Media. Culture. Africa. Diaspora. Entrepreneurship. If it’s about shifting culture, Nadia is in the room—leading the conversation.
