Get to know me!
Hello Friends,
My name is Nyla Johnay Conaway and I want to welcome you to my blog! I will share some fast facts about myself, so get ready!
Preferred Name: I typically go by Nyla, but if you want to make me feel special you can call me Nyla Johnay or NyCon. Johnay is my middle name; I have been trying very hard to use it more often because I feel like it gets ignored. My second nickname NyCon is a combo of my first and last names and it also is a play on the word icon.
Pronouns: she/her/hers
Hometown: New Haven, CT (clap it up, the home of lollipops, hamburgers, and me of course)!
Major: I have not declared my major yet, but I am intending on majoring in Africana Studies, possibly minoring in Psychology, and doing a concentration in Community Engagement and Social Change.
Fun Fact: I write with my left hand, but I do most other things with my right hand.
Things we can chat about: Honestly anything, but if you want ~super specialized info~ ask me about Africana Studies, playing sports in college (especially track and field), caring for your natural hair while living in a dorm, fashion, and the AEMES scholars or mentoring program
Now onto some bloggy things, this blog is called Nyla in Noho and the name was created with some help from our lovely blog manager Aneliz. There was also some inspo from the show Emily in Paris, we can talk about this in another post. I like how the N’s are matchy-matchy and I think it flows well. I do not do ~english~, but from some searching online I believe that this ~stylistic device~ is called consonance. Please do not quote me on that and if I am wrong, please correct me. I will try to not be embarrassed.
That is all for now loves, we will chat later. Tootles.
-- xo, Nyla in Noho
