First of all, welcome! My name is Nagiyd (Pronounced "Nah-jeed) but I'm often called by my nickname Naj. I created this site to have a space to document and share some of the experiences I've been blessed to come across so far.

In the past 25 years, I have lived in :

• 4 Different countries.
• 6 different states.
• 18 different cities.
• 24 different homes (that can be recalled for sure). 
• And attended 10 different schools (11 if you count homeschooling)

The experiences of traveling around and getting to know many people from all walks of life as well as being a Muslim Afro-Latinx American, have truly shaped me in to the person I am today . It was hard for me growing up and not really seeing anyone that I really identified with especially when it came to creatives, and I am excited to see more representation nowadays. I don't have it all figured out yet(nor do I know if I ever really will), but I am working on expressing myself, however, the heck I feel as long as I feel good about it afterward. I am also not saying that I am aiming to be anyone's hero or anything, but if me talking about my life makes anyone go "ahh snap that is actually completely relatable" or my art inspires you to get out there and make your own magic, I think that could be kind of dope. Also if you find me that relatable, I love you and we should really be friends. I tend to work with a number of creative platforms like photography, writing, or several other mediums of art. This space is intended to pool all of that fun stuff together and I'm excited to share this new process with all of you! I'm thinking of it as my new creative home (that makes 25 if we are still counting) and I truly hope you come to feel the same way. This is the first home that I have built all by myself and it is an exciting labor of love. You are welcome to visit as often as you'd like while we're under construction, a lot of growing and changing shall be taking place simultaneously before we are ship-shape, and I do apologize for any weird bugs that you might come across in the meantime. If you'd like a little one on one time feel free to chat me up, my door is always open.  So with all that being said, welcome home.

Peace and love,

Nomadi Naj
