You Don’t Know Nia
Nia remains a popular musical artist, performing shows in Los Angeles, Chicago and Parma, Italy. And in 2008 was voted one of People Magazine’s 100 most beautiful people.
Nia has also proven herself equally creative offstage. She has written two screenplays, including “Educating Annie” which sold to Peace Arch Entertainment. In 2006 she directed “Back in Love” a music video for Unified Tribe, Britain’s number one soul band and her film directorial debut, the short feature “Treading Water” (which she also co-wrote and produced) garnered an Honorable Mention at the Indie Producer Awards.
Nia’s own life is as rich and colorful as any role she might play, lending inspiration to both her professional and personal pursuits. In 2005 she traveled to the wilds of Indonesia where in the wake of the massive earthquake and tsunami that devastated South East Asia, Nia spent a month at sea on a 75-foot Bugi pirate schooner, delivering emergency supplies and medical care to the isolated villages on the west coast of Sumatra. This trip helped inspire her new website, “Nia’s Elements of Life.com” which is an inspirational and fun women’s advocacy site.
Inspired by her 2008 People Magazine award as one of the worlds 100 Most Beautiful People, Nia is now the lifestyle editor for the online fashion magazine “Bella Petite” where she hosts a monthly web radio show and writes a weekly column called “Sincerely Nia.”
And after surviving the “rite of passage” known as raising a trouble teen, Nia is executive producing a show for CMT called “The Teen Whisperer.”
An avid surfer, she has ridden the waves up and down the coast of California, and spent time exploring the surf in more far-flung locales like Hawaii, Baja, Costa Rica and West Africa.
When not working on location or traveling for some exotic new adventure, Nia lives in Southern California with her husband and two children.
