7.4 My feature in @frowmagazine, here are excerpts from my interview. Thank you for the very real dialogue (go check out the whole issue!) : " As a Black Muslim woman in the arts industry, she continues to push through odds stacked against her. There are several times where she's walked in on a job noticing "one look in the room" facing the realities of anti-Blackness & Islamophobia as well as male-dominance. She proceeds to break barriers and conflations by exuding her talent and dynamic personality in the work place." __________________________ Excerpt 2: I pay homage to both my parents (deceased). "Growing up in a multicultural environment with parents adamant about Najmah's exposure to literature and the arts, the Brooklyn native turned to art to discover herself. Her creative pursuits can be traced back to "creating out of necessity." | _______________________ Shoutout to the whole creative team, for this experience!!!
