writer. creative producer. educator. neighbor.
closing the gap between dreams & reality

Nia (n.): the fifth day of Kwanzaa; a word in Swahili that translates to “Purpose.”

My second cousin, Jeanette Fae Blair, thought of this name for me (thanks, cousin!). She was a stalwart advocate for Black History education, Kwanzaa, and classical music.

Jeanette lived a life of great intention, so she made it very clear what my responsibilities were when she was no longer with us:

Join the Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA) Sorority
Become our next family historian

Failing to do the first (sorry, cousin!), I promised to uphold the second and become an archivist of not only our family’s history but of a collective future.
