Illinois. She became fascinated with
politics, and that fascination inspired her to pursue careers in law,
corrections, public service, and ultimately, teaching. Nyah’s love for mystery and intrigue, fueled
by her appreciation for American and English literature, lit the flame that
forever burns to stimulate the imagination and challenge youth to critically
think. “The world is a very different
place now,” according to Nyah, than when she first discovered her world,
and the one beyond as she saw it, when she attended Southern Illinois
University, Carbondale, Illinois. From
that time to this, she has watched the social and political consciousness of
American youth give way to video arcade games and various other thoughtless
forms of engagement that rob them of their ability to creatively and critically
think. Through her writing, Nyah hopes
to restore the gift of imagination and the thirst for knowledge that supports
it.view less
