Adapted from the original interview conducted by Christopher Padgett (Human City Creative) for the TGC Black Creatives in Beaver County Interview Series.

ARTIST'S STATEMENTI'm an artist that wants to work on inclusivity and body positivity. I have hopes to illustrate a children's book especially so my son has something to assist him later on in his life. I have a passion for cartoonist illusion and for its ability to break barriers in storytelling - for myself and others.Visit Nadia on Instagram
