About the Artist

 

Update: As much as I love my brand and designs, it has been so much to juggle life and this business at a full-time capacity on a consistent basis.  I will be keeping the brand alive however it will not be available and as accessible as it once was.  I will have flash sales online and in-person events a few times per year, please continue to follow us on social media and sign up for our email list to stay in the know.  I truly appreciate each and every one of you for supporting this brand! 

Hi, I'm Nadia,

The creator, designer and artist! (As well as many other hats)

I have been developing this brand since 2017 and I created this brand because I felt the need for something that represented me in the truest form of how I see myself as an African American.

African American the Beautiful Co. is an opportunity for us to celebrate the unique hybrid that we are as African Americans. My goal is to focus on the beauty of us as black people and embrace how fly we are!

All of the designs started from a hand drawing and the concept of merging both Africa and America into a design that speaks to the swag we have on the outside and the beauty we feel on the inside. Although oppression and struggle is always there I don't want to forever dwell on it, sometimes I just want to be surrounded by thoughts of how dope our culture is.

African American the Beautiful comes from the song "America the Beautiful", but enhanced to include us!

Beyond that, I am a wife, mother of 3 boys, teacher and entrepreneur! Join me in inspiring others to share that we are #beautifullyus!

xoxo

Nadia
