CHILDREN’S AUTHOR ANNA NYAKANA TO BE HONORED WITH NABSE'S "2021 LIVING LEGEND AWARD" - Los Angeles, CA
<h4><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/392481/ef13532383beb5dea0e491cf79c5bdc0e6ab2bfe/original/image-11-11-21-at-7-28-pm.jpg/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.jpg" class="size_l justify_left border_none" alt="" /></h4>
<h4>"I push forward for that younger version of myself that wishes that someone advocated for those of us in our inner-city community and reminded us of our worth." </h4>
<p><span class="font_small">LOS ANGELES, CA, November 13, 2021 --- Plugstar Entertainment is pleased to announce that best-selling children’s author/speaker/producer/singer-songwriter Anna Nyakana will receive this year’s National Alliance of Black School Educators (NABSE) Living Legend Award at the 49th Annual NABSE Conference on Saturday, November 13, at 6:30 p.m. at the LAX Marriott Hotel. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_small">The award is bestowed upon individuals who have undergone great personal and professional sacrifice in the service of educational advancement for African Americans. According to the NABSE, Ms. Nyakana was selected because she “demonstrates excellence and the highest standards of ethical conduct, integrity, and civic and social responsibility.” She will deliver an acceptance speech at the ceremony. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_small">The best-selling author has been recognized previously with numerous awards for her two multi- cultural children’s books, “Niyah Zuri and The Pharaoh’s Throne” and “Niyah Zuri and the Mayan Eclipse.” The clever tales relate the epic adventures of fearless black heroine Niyah Zuri and her best friends, the Gonzales twins. Together, the time-traveling youngsters learn lessons about overcoming fear, self-empowerment and chasing dreams, all while walking through history. Nyakana explains that “it’s really just about uplifting youth to believe in themselves and walk purposely in their passions.” </span></p>
<p><span class="font_small">A mother of two young boys herself, Nyakana is proud of the social impact that the book series is making. Not only has it inspired the custom curriculum that she’s developed and brought into numerous schools and school districts, but it’s also inspired a growing movement. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_small">“It’s creating a huge opportunity to instill the understanding of embracing cultures that are different from your own. That way, 20 or 30 years from now, we’ll have adults that understand how to love others and not have hatred or prejudices because of ignorance,” Nyakana suggests. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_small">Recently, the author has been preparing to pitch to networks a Niyah Zuri cartoon series that will further share the message with children and their parents. Because the empowerment of women in business is equally important to her, she has also been extending her message to adults by appearing on podcasts and serving as a motivational speaker. </span></p>
<p><span class="font_small">“I feel that we’re not made aware of the resources and things that are available to us. [It’s important to] allow women to find their power and let them know how to create a business plan, how to strategize, how to build their network… But also, at the end of the day, just to have the courage to bet on themselves,” Nyakana maintains.</span></p>

Anna Nyakana "This is 50" Feature Article - New York, New York
<h3><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/392481/423a74088f02396b6f021d41729cc5a85ea60cfc/original/my-post-11.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.png" class="size_l justify_right border_none" alt="" />Anna Nyakana: Amplifying the Sounds of World Music </h3>
<p>Anna Nyakana is an award-winning and bestselling children’s author, speaker, producer, musician, and singer-songwriter. Hailing from Uganda by way of Berlin, Germany, she is most notably known for creating the Niyah Zuri children’s book series, which focuses on representation for our Black and Brown youth and empowerment through historical exploration of our own rich legacies. Growing up in the U.S. from the age of six, Anna discovered an unfulfilled need for kids to gain a true knowledge of self by understanding where it is they come from; beyond the stories of trauma normally instructed in schools and highlighted by the media. From this discovery, the Niyah Zuri movement was born and Anna Nyakana began her relentless mission to save the youth. Now building upon her book series, the visionary is growing her Niyah Zuri movement by creating an animated cartoon and short film to expand the message of diversity and self-love from literacy to digital content, so kids can have access to educational programming that is also honoring to their heritage. “Kids should see a reflection of themselves from books to screens, my mission is to inspire them one adventure at a time,” states Nyakana.</p>
<p>Not stopping there – this multi-talented creative is taking things a step further by co-producing an original soundtrack for her animation to truly blend the sounds of our origin with Hip-Hop. By incorporating world music, primarily AfroBeat, AfroFusion, and AfroPop, Anna Nyakana is bringing our heritage to the forefront of the Culture. “I aspire to unlock the youth to achieving their highest potential and understand that we have a responsibility to give them the keys to discovering their true selves. The music we’re creating for the animation will vibrate to the core of every listener and allow their subconscious to reconnect with the sounds of heritage and their own glorious history,” Anna explains. Working directly with Producer and Recording Artist LaChaleur (A$AP Ferg, Desiigner, ARNSTAR), the two were able to collaborate to bring the vision and the sounds of back home alive. Anna contributing melodies, vocals, and live instrumentation while LaChaleur creating hypnotic beats and rhythmic patterns stemming from his own roots from Ivory Coast – joining together to truly make a one-of-a-kind sound. “Anna and I wanted to give it a fresh sound that still represents culture and that millennial-vibe that people could easily resonate with; where it’s not looked at as something just for kids but where you could watch it as a family,” shared LaChaleur.</p>
<p>The journey of the Niyah Zuri soundtrack will be released as an exclusive studio bio filmed and directed by the talented Gil Rios; an award-winning Filmmaker and Director. Gil Rios prides himself in selectively choosing creative partnerships where he is able to bring stories and experiences to life through his video making; his work has been featured in The Rolling Stone, The Source Magazine, and Hot 97 to name a few. When asked why he chose to capture Anna’s journey Gil shared, “Because I feel her mission for teaching our children of color their correct history and culture is very important in their growth and development.” Anna Nyakana is one to watch – someone who truly is here to create change and long-lasting impact in the world for generations to come. Her focus and passion for the youth is a rarity and something is telling me, this is just the beginning.</p>

<h3><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/392481/6ec32216daf16e99e3171e4f551ca8f4b02e8242/original/my-post-94.png/!!/meta:eyJzcmNCdWNrZXQiOiJiemdsZmlsZXMifQ==/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_left border_" />Anna Nyakana Honing the Generations of Tomorrow</h3>
<p>APRIL 13, 2021 - SAN FRANCISCO, CA --- The children are the generations of tomorrow. How future adults will function and co-exist as a society will depend on how they are taught to live and how they are taught to be co-existing individuals. People are born unbiased, honest, and pure. On the other hand, adults often live with stereotypes and the tendency to discriminate because society taught them to do so. Since the mindsets of adults in the current generation will be hard to alter to avoid stereotypes, the children are the only hope in trying to form a better society. Raising them with the correct mindsets will save humanity from discrimination, biases, and racism. Anna Nyakana recognized this reality and chose to change the narrative.</p><!-- more -->
<p>An award-winning and best-selling author, motivational speaker, producer, and business owner of Niyah Zuri Books and Niyah Zuri Studios, Anna Nyakana is a successful entrepreneur making an impact on the lives of many. Born in Berlin, Germany, in 1986 to a Ugandan father and German-Moldavian mother, she pursued her passion for writing and music beginning at the age of 6. As a teenager, she further mastered her musical abilities while completing humanitarian work around the world. After independently releasing her debut album in June 2007, she took up a Bachelor’s Degree in Business to learn the essentials of building her future empire. This led Anna to writing her first literary work, The Student Survival Guide to Online College. With this guidebook, Anna was able to guide thousands of students on their higher education journey through an online platform but yearned to empower the youth through her pen. </p>
<p>Anna Nyakana grew up reading books. Exploring different stories and learning about the various scenes, Anna had a hard time relating to the characters because of how exclusive it is. The heroines were always the ones being rescued, not many characters looked anything like her, and the scenes were filled with many other stereotypes that adults often overlook because a biased society dictates that it is normal. </p>
<p>Children’s books made her realize that children are nothing but pure beings who do not care about race, gender, or age. The overwhelming need for multicultural children’s books paved her way into realizing her most significant purpose. Out of the desire to promote unity, Anna Nyakana created the Niyah Zuri series. Taking the next few years to publish her greatest literary work, Niyah Zuri and the Pharaoh’s Throne, is now taking over school districts nationally and home libraries alike. The series follows a fearless Black heroine, Niyah Zuri, and her best friends the Gonzales twins, as they time jump to different eras in past centuries to learn about ancient cultures while aiding children from history overcome challenges. Based on her book series, Anna is currently pitching her cartoon series Adventures with Niyah Zuri to networks while also completing it as an animated short accompanied by its own unique soundtrack, executive produced by the multi-talented creative. Nyakana is here to ensure that culture is seen in the pages as well as the pixels. </p>
<p>Recognizing the importance of letting children see a reflection of themselves in the books that they read and digital content they watch, Anna Nyakana aims to inspire them, one adventure at a time. By bringing diversity to classrooms and empowering the youth through affirmations and self-love principles, she hopes to encourage children to glorify people of different cultures and inspire them to have creations that do not deny some culture’s contributions. The children are the future generations of tomorrow. They are the ones who will be dictating how the future society will be, and having to raise them with the correct mindset is an essential step in making an inclusive and accepting society.

<h3>Anna Nyakana Continues to Empower Children with Another Addition to the Niyah Zuri Series</h3>
<p>MARCH 19, 2021 - NEW YORK, NY ---</p>
<p>While some cultures have been openly celebrated, others have been humbly striving to be heard while being in the shadows. Eclipsed by the popular, many individuals feel underrepresented for not fitting the mold. Award-winning and bestselling author, motivational speaker, and entrepreneur Anna Nyakana feels an immense responsibility to shed light on such cultures and uphold her mission of educating and empowering the youth to ultimately bring unification to humankind. </p>
<p>Anna Nyakana is the genius behind Niyah Zuri Books, a children’s books series that seeks to break away from the traditional damsel-in-distress stories while introducing history from cultures around the world not typically discovered in the classroom. She is also the creator of Niyah Zuri Studios, her production house that is responsible for “Adventures with Niyah Zuri,” a cartoon series based on her books with the purpose of bringing representation to the pixels and inspiring excitement for literacy. To sum up her goals, the multi-talented visionary wants to instill in the youth the Niyah Zuri Way,which means “beautiful purpose.” </p><!-- more -->
<p>Among the books in the series is Niyah Zuri and The Pharaoh’s Throne, the second edition released in June of 2020. The book follows the time-bending journey of exploration to ancient lands by Niyah Zuri and her friends Miguel and Hugo Gonzales, and it has landed #1 in seven children’s categories. The author is currently completing the next book to be added to the series called Niyah Zuri and The Mayan Eclipse. </p>
<p>Anna Nyakana is writing books that could have helped her as a kid. Today, she wants to be the creative, feminist, and empowered voice she never heard growing up. Anna is helping not only children of Color but children across the globe embrace their true self and the beauty of their culture. Mainstream media may not always highlight diversity but the author seeks to fill the void by writing about the narratives of those whose legacies have been concealed in present-day history. </p>
<p>Born in Berlin, Germany in 1986, Anna Nyakana immigrated with her family to the United States in the early 90’s settling in Stamford, Connecticut. Her Father is from Uganda while her Mother is of German and Moldavian descent. As an immigrant, Anna faced the difficulty of fitting in with her peers and learning the English language; she was enrolled in ESL classes as a secondary learning path along with an average school schedule and was assigned books to practice her English from her school library. “However, I was constantly discouraged because I could not find books with characters that look like me on the cover. As if my own hue and culture were not important enough to be represented,” shared the author. Later on, this reason fueled Anna Nyakana to become a writer dedicated to leaving a positive impact and bringing the underrepresented to the spotlight. “Children should see a reflection of themselves from books to screens,” said Anna. “My mission is to inspire them one adventure at a time.” </p>
<p>Anna Nyakana has received raving reviews from media outlets and award-giving bodies for the Niyah Zuri series and her relentless dedication to uplift the youth. She has been featured on SiriusXM, Entercom Radio, FOX, FOX Soul, PopFuzion TV, NBC, ABC, FOX 61, and News 12 Connecticut. She was recently awarded Connecticut Magazine’s “40 Under 40” List and graced their February 2021 cover. Anna has also received notable honors including the 2020 “100 Women of Color Award” and selected as class Valedictorian, inclusion in the prestigious Forbes the Culture, and Official Proclamations from both the Lt. Governor of Connecticut and Connecticut House of Representatives. </p>

Anna Nyakana Feature Article in KIVO DAILY - Nashville, TN
<h3><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/392481/b515024974f4ff6297cfdd8712cd0d653f3f6371/original/my-post.jpg/!!/b:W10=.jpg" class="size_l justify_left border_" />Anna Nyakana: The Chieftess of the Niyah Zuri Tribe</h3>
<p>MARCH 19, 2021 - NASHVILLE, TN ---</p>
<p>“Who and What is Niyah Zuri?” you may ask. “It means Beautiful Purpose in Swahili, and I chose that name on purpose and for a purpose,” states Anna Nyakana, the award-winning creator behind the movement. Anna is responsible for the Niyah Zuri children’s book series, most notably the bestselling Niyah Zuri and The Pharaoh’s Throne, which has grown to new heights in popularity as it enters countless school districts across the country. The book series follows a fearless and curly-headed heroine, Niyah Zuri, as she and her best friends the Gonzales Twins time travel to ancient lands to assist other children from history overcome obstacles. It fulfills the need for representation in kids literature while also highlighting history, youth empowerment, and STEM. </p>
<p>Born in Berlin, Germany in 1986, Nyakana is of Ugandan and German-Moldavian descent. Her family immigrated to the US in the ’90s and she began her journey of self-discovery in a very Black-and-White American society, all the while never letting go of the culture she hailed from. Her passion to bring diversity to the classroom is very much rooted in her own cultural pride and is perfectly captured in her vision statement, “Children should see a reflection of themselves in the books that they read. My mission is to inspire them, one adventure at a time.” </p>
<p>Building upon her book series, Anna Nyakana is giving the Niyah Zuri Tribe another source of motivation to literally tap into; the digital world. Anna has created an animated cartoon series titled, Adventures with Niyah Zuri, which she is currently pitching to networks. When asked about her reasons for creating the cartoon she shared, “I seldom identified with a character on the cover of a book and that was the same case when I turned on the TV, even if there were only a handful of channels. Our hue deserves to be represented in the pixels and with the amount of screens in our kid’s hands these days, there’s no reason why they can’t learn about their own glorious history and that of others, all while gaining a new love of literacy through exploration! I vow to do my part to make even a screen an unmistakable tool for a child to discover the worth of their own melanated element.” Nyakana is leaving no stone unturned as she leans on her #NoDaysOff mantra to bridge the gap of representation from books to animation and beyond! </p><!-- more -->
<p>The multi-talented author, motivational speaker, mother of two, and soon-to-be producer will stop at nothing to spread the Niyah Zuri fundamentals of diversity, unity, love, and progression. Her unyielding passion for empowering the youth to “walk in their dreams” instead of chasing them and understanding that “nothing is impossible” has catapulted Anna Nyakana to a global role model all children and adults can aspire to be and learn from. </p>
<p>Anna Nyakana has been featured on countless media outlets and publications including SiriusXM, FOX, FOX Soul, FOX 61, Entercom Radio, NBC, ABC, Sheen Magazine, Medium, PopFuzion TV, and News 12 Connecticut. She recently received inclusion in Connecticut Magazine’s 2021 “40 Under 40” List and graced the February front cover to represent the 2021 Class; this honor following the non-stop recognition of this pioneer including the 2020 “100 Women of Color Award” and Class Valedictorian and proclamations from the Lt. Governor of the State of Connecticut and Connecticut House of Representatives. </p>
<p>The Chieftess has a very clear and undeniable vision of growing her Tribe, stating, “This is more than a book, this is more than a cartoon, this is a movement! So what are you waiting for to live purposefully in your life? You deserve to reach your fullest potential, let’s gooo!” </p>

<h4>“My purpose is to save the youth and I’m just getting started!”</h4>
<p> </p>
<p>FEBRUARY 1, 2021 - NEW HAVEN, CT --- </p>
<p>Anna Nyakana </p>
<p>34 / Stamford </p>
<p>Children’s author and entrepreneur annanyakana.com • @Niyah_Zuri on Instagram and Twitter </p>
<p>Nyakana set out to write multicultural books to help children celebrate their diversity and recognize their worth. Born to a Ugandan father and German-Moldavian mother, she attended a low-funded school that failed to offer positive role models or lesson plans that spotlighted representation. “Every child deserves to know they have the ability to reach their fullest potential regardless of their ZIP code,” says the award-winning, best-selling author of Niyah Zuri and The Pharaoh’s Throne. “Children of color and all cultures should have respect, love and understanding of one another in order to develop a prolific knowledge of self and those they share this world with.” More important to her than sales, Nyakana works with school administrators in Connecticut and nationally to implement the Niyah Zuri series into curriculums. She is creating an educational cartoon series, Adventures with Niyah Zuri, based on her books that will help children build their consciousness and vocabulary through world adventures while showing them they can achieve their wildest dreams. Multifaceted, Nyakana is also a singer-songwriter, producer, content-creator, motivational speaker, and a mom of two who has sparked a movement for unification. “My purpose is to save the youth and I’m just getting started!”</p>

<h4>By: Anna Nyakana</h4>
<p>"AN ODE TO MY YOUNGER SELF: Lift your chin, straighten your back, walk with purpose; each step more firm than the lack. Forget their painful remarks, about your hair and your tones, but take a seat towards the front in case before the next stop they throw stones. As you stare through the window’s reflection, you may question if you’re perfection, if their words are in fact true. For you failed the comb test, so could that contradict the benevolence of you? The daily search for faces similar to your own in literature’s printed spaces set to educate have left your backpack light, yet again. Unbeknownst to you, this lack of weight has planted the seed that will germinate into your destiny to empower all girls and women. Lift your chin, straighten your back, walk with purpose; each step more firm than the lack. </p>
<p>Two channels click in sequence as you turn the dial, aluminum foil to strengthen the signal as the static begins another circadian trail. Characters of animals and boys that are blue, dance across the screen with no representation of you. The technicolor lights flash into your pupil, creating an ocular messaging to the mind that your hue’s acknowledgement to the World is a strategic refusal. As you sit there in compromise, realize what’s hidden in the apparent, see, apparently, our Glory is the essential key to unlocking the mind from captivity. Lift your chin, straighten your back, walk with purpose; each step more firm than the lack. </p>
<p>As you blink in search for our narratives to manifest in response don’t convert Truth into nonchalance. In fact, pull your curls from your eyes so you can see it clearly, the blatant exclusion, pollution of delusion. Remember this moment for the orbits to come, create an anchor in the deepest chambers, kiln of the hottest embers, where your LifeSpark resides ablaze, your melanated essence appraise. For we are pixelated matter in a rubics cube equation and you have been chosen to solve the moves for Our color pervasion. Lift your chin, straighten your back, walk with purpose; each step more firm than the lack."</p>

<p><span class="font_small">We believe properly educating America’s minorities and its lower economic classes the same way it does our white middle and upper middle classes will have a transformative effect on our nation as a whole. Every child has the ability to positively impact the world, but for far too many a lack of educational opportunities leaves our future doctors, lawyers, and economists stuck in schools with outdated books and insufficient supplies, not being properly nurtured to achieve their full potential. Let’s create a space that empowers black people to take ownership over our communities by developing a love of learning and a commitment to self-determination.

We dive into the importance of representation in children's books, my Niyah Zuri movement, and so MUCH MORE! Had to bring the fire when speaking on the injustices that took the lives of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery and too many others to recount and ensuring we as a people are progressing towards a higher standard of accountability and transformation. Also gave some motivation to those feeling discouraged during quarantine to remember "Not every door is locked, PUSH!" and even sang some Nina Simone to reflect on the summit I have currently reached and the climb I have ahead to reach the peak of my Niyah Zuri mission. Thank you June Archer for the continued support! STAY TUNED FOR THE FULL EPISODE ON THE MOTIVATE U PLATFORM!</p>

<h4>By: Anna Nyakana</h4>
<p>Diversity should be a defining thread in the weaving of a child’s education, for it produces an undeniable texture that will impact all of their decisions and understanding, a magnificent pattern of culture that will remain tightly stitched within their spirits for a lifetime. Most school districts select a child’s school placement by ZIP Code or street address. Sometimes pulling children in from “different sides of the track” into the same school. As a result, the classroom may be the very first place that a child comes into contact with another different from their own race! What an incredible opportunity to ensure that children are learning about world cultures, rich traditions, and customs; especially children of Color, for our history is limited within standard curriculum. Diversity in the classroom is critical for its shapes the very society that children will grow up to inherit; let us make this World worthy of their inheritance </p>
<p>We have a responsibility to expose children to the rest of the World, including the communities in which they live. This in turn will ensure we are developing well-rounded students that will mature into compassionate, understanding, and empathetic global citizens; consider how this change could impact the current state of the World. We need to strike at the minds of the youth, while they’re malleable, while they know no malice, while they know no prejudice, before that seed of ignorance is planted. Diversity should not be tolerated but rather celebrated! Moreover, diversity promotes a child’s creativity as it adds perspective, depth, rhythm, flavor, and essence to an otherwise one-dimensional and predictable environment. </p>
<p> Every culture contributes uniquely to civilization in areas such as music, dance, written expression, spiritual insights, athletics, science, and mathematics. Therefore, it would be an injustice to only focus on a single-culture perspective in the classroom, as it restricts the creative mind from expanding to its true potential. This is the fundamental reason of why my focus has been to implement the Niyah Zuri series into every single classroom across the country. </p>
<p>Within “Niyah Zuri and The Pharaoh’s Throne,” children are learning about Ancient Egyptian history: spiritual practices and beliefs, way of life, the geography of a monumental Empire; all of which is not being watered down or misconstrued to receive a western acceptance. I am exposing children to real African history. Something that is going to significantly empower children of Color because they now understand the richness of their own selves and broaden the minds of other children, who may not identify as such, to embrace and respect the Kingdoms and Empires they descend from. This knowledge is beyond the 28 days of Black History month and the standard topics that are traditionally revisited in the classroom during that time period, for we are beyond Black History month! Our history is 365! Our history created all history! </p>
<p>Additionally, with a focus on Prince Tut, a young boy turned Pharaoh at the tender age of only eight years old, children are inspired to believe in themselves without question and walk in their dreams now. One’s age should not limit them from achieving anything that they desire in their life; look to history to remember your worth, your value, your strength – you are limitless! What a powerful elevation that could be to all children, as it creates a more enlightened and compassionate society – I don’t know about you but that’s the world I want my children to grow up in. And I will do everything I can each and every day to ensure I contribute to that society for everyone else’s children too. Let’s continue the work!</p>

Through it all, I remained consistently persistent, for I vowed to never let that younger version of myself down. The younger version that couldn’t find a character on the cover that looked like them and attended a low-performing school on the “wrong side” of town that no one cared to invest in it’s students. </span></p>

<p><span class="font_regular">It is my DEEPEST honor to receive the 2020 “100 Women of Color Award” as well as being selected as this year’s Valedictorian. I will continue the work of investing in our kids regardless of their zip code, to ignite that flame within them and remind them each day of their worth and value through “The Fundamental Truths of Niyah Zuri”©; to create books and digital content that instills self-love through representation and teaches them of their glorious history and those of rich cultures different than their own. I’ve said it before and I’ll continue to say it, WHEN ONE OF US WIN, WE ALL WIN! Thank you all for your support over the years - I promise to not let you down - SHOUTOUT TO THE TRIBE!!! </span></p>

<p><strong>Susan Dunne </strong></p>
<p><strong>Hartford Courant </strong></p>
<p>A CNN commentator, a children’s book author and an 8-year-old activist will be among the speakers at the 5th annual 100 Women of Color Gala & Awards, celebrating and inspiring community leaders. The gala, postponed from April by the coronavirus pandemic, will be held on Aug. 28 at Simsbury Meadows. </p>
<p>“Women are the backbone, the pillars of community. Without them there would be no us. I want to honor them,” said June Archer, UConn lecturer, entrepreneur and author, of how the 100 Women of Color Gala began. “We’ve built a community of women coming together and supporting their own.”</p>
<p> Anna Nyakana of New Britain, a children’s book author, will speak as the valedictorian of the 100 Women of Color Class of 2020. The rest of the Class of 2020, a wide range of women of color positively impacting their community, will accept awards, Archer said.</p>
<p>“Niyah Zuri & The Pharaoh’s Throne” and the upcoming “Niyah Zuri and The Mayan Eclipse,” which she plans to pitch as an animated series. Nyakana has worked with school systems in Hartford, Bloomfield, New London and New Haven to put her books in schools. </p>
<p>“I grew up in a housing project in Stamford. Not the best school district. No one ever came to speak to us to tell us we were worthy,” Nyakana said. “That never really left me.” </p>
<p>So she creates books to promote diversity, inclusion and female empowerment. “It’s a seed to implant into the minds of youths,” she said.</p>

Anna Nyakana Feature Article in Enspire Magazine - New York, NY
<p><span class="font_regular"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/392481/0f86067afef4b76cb54d42c794dabaf30b17df5c/original/my-post-6.png/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.png" class="size_l justify_left border_none" alt="" />AUGUST 7, 2020 - NEW YORK, NY --- Anna Nyakana Publishes Adventures of Young Heroine to Empower Children of All Backgrounds</span></p>
<h4>Rising Author Uses Her Series to Broaden the Scope of the Publishing World </h4>
<p><strong>ENSPIRE Contributor: Elizabeth Duchan </strong></p>
<p>Anna Nyakana is making waves in the publishing industry, one time-travel adventure at a time. The 33-year-old author has had immense success in her mission to provide a celebration of multiculturalism, female empowerment, and self-discovery for children through her writing. Born in Germany in 1986 and later moving to the United States, Nyakana pursued her passion for writing and singing throughout her teenage years while adapting to life as an immigrant and woman of color. After acquiring a Bachelor’s degree in Business and publishing The Student Survival Guide to Online College, Nyakana shifted her attention towards children’s books and bringing to life Niyah Zuri, a little girl much like her younger self. </p>
<p>As the daughter of a Ugandan father and German-Moldavian mother, Nyakana recalls the constant struggle she felt in trying to relate to characters in books. “Growing up,” she said in an interview with News 12 Connecticut, “I could never find anyone on the cover that looked like me.” Thus began Nyakana’s mission to develop literature that not only celebrated diversity but allowed children of all backgrounds to identify with the multi-dimensional characters they so admired. </p>
<p>Nyakana professes that she places a lot of the weight on herself as an author to bridge the gaps in gender equality and diversity in the publication world. With less than 10% of children’s books having a multicultural element and only 5% of authors being multicultural themselves, under-representation in writing has long run rampant. Within the education system especially, older books with predominantly white characters fail to reflect the diverse demographic makeup of the classrooms themselves. </p>
<p>Nyakana aims to combat this prevalent issue by creating dynamic characters in which children can see themselves reflected. Her hope is to not only normalize but also to celebrate having a wide representation of backgrounds in books and media, especially in a school setting. </p>
<p>While the book itself has been wildly successful in attracting children to reading, Nyakana explains that another primary focus was to illustrate the heroism of women. In a world where male protagonists often steal the spotlight in literature and media, Nyakana articulates that there is a profound need for “heroines [who] could slay the fiercest of dragons versus filling the typical princess in distress role.” Nyakana cunningly shifts typical gender roles through Niyah’s fearlessness and independence, weaving an inspiring tale of female strength and leadership. </p>
<p>Nyakana continues to develop her series with its latest installment Niyah Zuri and The Mayan Eclipse and works to spread the messages of her books by integrating them into school curricula and visiting schools and virtual classes. Guided by her strong principles and pursuit of change, Nyakana is at the forefront of molding the landscape of children’s books, and her success story promises to reap profound benefits for generations to come. </p>

"Meet Connecticut Author Anna Nyakana" Feature Article by Bobby Pen - Houston, TX

<h4><span class="font_regular"><strong>Niyah Zuri Books & Niyah Zuri Studios/"Niyah Zuri and The Pharaoh’s Throne"</strong></span></h4>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>Has it been a smooth road? If not, what were some of your struggles along the way? </strong></span></p>
<p>There have been many obstacles in my journey. In the very beginning, publishers rejected my manuscript. Others loved my story idea but wanted to make my main character less “urban”. I have kept all the rejection letters until this day. I would not compromise my fearless Black heroine. Instead, I decided to publish on my own to get my book into the hands of young readers. </p>
<p>The first year I sold a few hundred, the next year a few thousand and last year 10,000. In addition, another obstacle occurred when implementing by book into the curriculum of schools in my State and abroad. Many administrators didn’t believe this was a crucial story to a child’s development. I fought to change their minds and succeeded. As a result, I proved that our stories are beyond Black History Month. </p>
<h4><span class="font_regular"><strong>What do you do? What are you most proud of? What sets you apart? </strong></span></h4>
<p>Niyah Zuri Books is the book imprint for the Niyah Zuri children’s book series, most notably the bestselling “Niyah Zuri and The Pharaoh’s Throne.” I specialize in bringing representation to kid’s books for they “deserve to see a reflection of themselves in the book they read. Additionally, my mission is to inspire them, one adventure at a time!” Therefore, I am most proud of implementing my book in countless districts of my own state, across the U.S., and in Canada. I also know that the Niyah Zuri series is changing the narrative; brining diversity to the classroom. </p>
<p>My persistence sets me apart. I don’t focus on sales like normal authors or even collaborate with normal author channels, for instance. Instead my focus is impacting a child’s mind for a lifetime by ensuring they are learning about world culture and multiculturalism in schools. Furthermore, I uplift my community by supporting other entrepreneurs who join me in the movements of inuring and uplifting our youth and communities. I am now elevating my mission beyond books. Therefore, through my company, Niyah Zuri Studios, I am creating a cartoon series based on my books; pitching to networks in the coming months. </p>

<p>Lesley Logan </p>
<p><em>A native of Berlin, Germany, Anna Nyakana, and her family immigrated to the U.S. in the ’90s in search of the American dream; and that’s exactly what she found. The award-winning author is also an inspiring youth motivational speaker, as well as a talented entrepreneur! </em></p>
<p><em>With a diverse background that ranges from being a songwriter and live performer to writing children’s books and working with schools to spread the message of diversity across the country, this inspirational mother of two is enlightening the world one word at a time. </em></p>
<p><em>We sat down with the multi-talented Anna Nyakana to see what has been keeping her busy, what motivates her, and what her plans are for the future. Here’s what she had to say. </em></p>
<p><strong>It’s been a crazy few months – how are you holding up during this pandemic? </strong></p>
<p>I’m thriving! I’ve been connecting with my young readers through social media and I even created two new businesses, Niyah Zuri Books and Niyah Zuri Studios, which allowed me to launch a second edition of “Niyah Zuri and The Pharaoh’s Throne” on my own book imprint! It was released on June 13thand I’m proud to say that it hit #1 in seven children’s book categories! </p>
<p><strong>What inspired you to write children’s books and become a motivational speaker? </strong></p>
<p>I remember getting library books to practice my English and none of the people on the cover ever looked like me. That stigma never left me, and I grew a passion and desire to have our own stories represented. This grew into the Niyah Zuri children’s book series. When I was a kid, no one of significance ever came to our school to motivate us and tell us that we could attain our life goals. What a difference that would have made to many of us?! I live to be a difference now. That’s what inspires me. </p>
<p><strong>Let’s talk about your success in writing children’s books! What is the most rewarding part about being the author of “Niyah Zuri and The Pharaoh’s Throne”? </strong></p>
<p>Connecting with the kids! I love seeing a child’s face light up because my characters look and sound like them! “Niyah Zuri and The Pharaoh’s Throne” has inspired children who used to hate reading to now have a love of literacy and I am honored to be making that impact! </p>
<p><strong>At what moment did you know the book was going to be such a success. What was the turning point in your career? </strong></p>
<p>The first time I processed a bulk order of 1,000 books for a school district; I knew my book would be a success. A big turning point for me was in July 2019 when I was invited to be a guest on the legendary Karen Hunter Show on SiriusXM. She believed in my mission. This made a huge difference in my career because it allowed me to connect with millions of listeners and spread the Niyah Zuri message. </p>
<p><strong>What exciting new projects are you working on now? </strong></p>
<p>I am completing the second book in the series, “Niyah Zuri and The Mayan Eclipse.” I’m also launching official Niyah Zuri apparel with interpretations of my main character Niyah Zuri and Prince Tut. And, last but not least, and this is an exclusive, I am finally bringing a huge dream to life by creating a cartoon series based on my books! It will be visually striking and educational, so kids can enjoy both at home and in the classroom all while building their vocabulary and knowledge through world adventures. I am in production now, so keep an eye out! </p>
<p><strong>Stay tuned for great things from motivational speaker and children’s book author Anna Nyakana! </strong></p>

Anna Nyakana Launches Online Summer Camp - June 1-5, 2020
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/392481/a4c1dbd94b6f45a800914d6b236babe9cbba8fba/original/6bbed1b6-d1c1-4654-8a0f-3cfb2cee1d3b.png/!!/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p><span class="font_large">The world has been turned upside down in recent months and many families and loved ones have been torn apart with devastation. For those of us survivors, we are adjusting to a new way of life, including homeschooling our children. Parents have become full-time teachers, if not already, on top of their existing roles and jobs. As the months continue on, many are questioning learning plans for summer months once the school year officially wraps.</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Inspired by this need, I am excited to announce that I will be launching my very own Online Summer Camp for kids ages 8-12 (younger interested campers are welcome!). In addition to introducing kids to the Niyah Zuri series and it's mission of embracing diversity, girl-empowerment, leadership development, and world history through adventure - each daily 30 minute session will be held as a writer's workshop. I will walk virtual campers through the creative writing process, illustration and character development! By the end of this week-long camp, campers will be equipped to write their very own short stories, implement fundamental leadership traits, and be inspired to grow their love of reading! See you all in June! </span></p>

Anna Nyakana visits Clinton Avenue School for World Read Aloud Day 2020 - New Haven, CT
<p><span class="font_large">I had the honor of celebrating <strong>World Read Aloud Day 2020</strong> at <strong>Clinton Avenue School in New Haven, CT</strong> this week! Students at Clinton Avenue School acquire a love of learning and a sense of global citizenship with a project and inquiry based learning model aligned with rigorous instruction and high expectations. <strong>60 bilingual students</strong> joined my visit as I delved into chapters of<em><strong> "Niyah Zuri & The Pharaoh's Throne,"</strong></em> reading aloud to inspire their creative young minds! <strong>"The twins sound like me," </strong>Anthony shouted, to which I responded, <strong>"And just like the twins, you keep pushing and keep believing in yourself!" </strong>After wrapping my visit, I roamed the halls to track down the classroom of recent Milken educator award winner Ms. Lauren Sepulveda - I crashed her class to extend my congratulations to this elite Connecticut educator (keep inspiring your students to learn and connect with the world around them!).</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large">Thank you to <strong>Principal Kristina DeNegre</strong> and <strong>Vice Principal Patricia Gantenbein </strong>for inviting me to share in this literacy celebration. Special thanks also to <strong>Jennifer Quirk,</strong> Library Media Specialist, for liaising and coordinating of this event!</span></p>

Anna Nyakana visits Fred D. Wish Museum School - Hartford, CT
<p>I had an impactful visit at Fred D. Wish Museum School in Hartford, CT to wrap up the week-long celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day! The mission of Fred D. Wish Museum School is to L.E.A.D. their students to LEARN, EXPLORE, ACHIEVE, and DISCOVER their dreams and goals. I had the pleasure to connect with an all-boys after school program discussing my book "Niyah Zuri & The Pharaoh's Throne" and the importance of diversity and representation in the books we read as well as how to create individual goals to achieve your biggest dreams. My visit wrapped with a writer's workshop, as I led the group to collaborate on their very own short story, which will be presented at their next Literacy Night event. A big THANK YOU to Caitlin Brexley, Literacy Coach (Hartford Public Schools) and Gelda St. Juste, Community Schools Site Coordinator (The Village for Families & Children) for coordinating the visit!</p>

Anna Nyakana feature article in VoyageATL September Issue - Atlanta, GA
<p><span class="font_large">"Meet Anna Nyakana of Niyah Zuri & The Pharaoh’s Throne in Connecticut"</span></p>
<p><span class="font_large"><strong>ATLANTA, Georgia - September 3, 2019 ---</strong></span></p>
<h4><span class="font_regular">EXCERPT:</span></h4>
<h4><span class="font_regular"><strong>Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?</strong></span></h4>
<p><span class="font_large">When I first completed my manuscript, I gave myself one year to get it picked up by a major publisher. I received several rejection letters and eventually an interested publisher asked that I change the most fundamental element of my book; my main character. I was open to collaborating on all suggestions but could not allow Niyah Zuri to be erased; she is a fearless, headstrong, and intelligent black heroine that is destined to change the lives of all young readers. So, I overcame my own fear of failure, redefined my definition of success, and released my book independently. I have sold over 10,000 copies to date.</span></p>
<h4><span class="font_regular"><strong>Do you look back particularly fondly on any memories from childhood?</strong></span></h4>
<p><span class="font_large">I spent a significant amount of time volunteering throughout my childhood, whether it was building schools overseas, raising funds for community organizations, or being a mentor for at-risk youth. When I was 15, I traveled to Kenya to carry out health clinics in the slums of Nairobi. I came in contact with hundreds of individuals, the majority of them being my own age or younger, who refused to allow their disease to rob them of happiness. Their joy of life was seen in their bodies as they dance-battled, heard in their voices as they laughed and sang along with the radio, and undeniable in their beaming smiles as they greeted me “Good Morning.” My new friends taught me to love and live fully each day, regardless of circumstance. It was a profound lesson that I still carry with me to this day and have instilled in my sons.</span></p>

Anna Nyakana on SiriusXM's "The Karen Hunter Show" - New York, NY
<p style="text-align: left;"><span class="font_large">I am honored to been interviewed by award-winning journalist, radio host, and publisher <strong>Karen Hunter </strong>on <strong>Sirius XM Radio’s “The Karen Hunter Show</strong>.” Named one of the “Heavy Hundred” (The 100 Most Important Radio Talk Show Hosts In America) by industry bible Talkers Magazine, Karen has blazed a trail, bringing more action and less talk to the medium. She not only has some of the most provocative interviews with some of the biggest movers and shakers in the world, she is also a change agent—challenging her listeners to participate in the success they want to see and be. Thought-provoking and cutting-edge, KHS features candid conversations on the topics of the day and segments with guests across a variety of mediums to empower listeners.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span class="font_large">A big thank you to Karen Hunter as well as her producers and staff for a thought-provoking segment! Watch the full interview below to hear our discussion of my book <strong><em>"Niyah Zuri & The Pharaoh's Throne"</em> </strong>and my mission to change children’s perception of reading while bringing diversity to the forefront!</span></p>

Anna Nyakana visits Capital Prep Magnet - Hartford, CT
<p><span class="font_large">I had the honor of wrapping <strong>Women's History Month</strong> with 80 students at <strong>Capital Prep Magnet school in Hartford, CT</strong>. This Pre-K through 12th grade charter school aspires to create a community of lifelong learners who will be assets to their community by working towards Social Justice. During our deep dive into <em><strong>Niyah Zuri & The Pharaoh's Throne</strong></em>, we talked about overcoming challenges, aspiring to make impacts in our community, and the importance of diversity. Thank you to Principal Dr. Kitsia Ferguson for your support and Joaner Weidman, Projects and Program Support Facilitator, for organizing this event!</span></p>

Anna Nyakana on HPATV’s Hartford Community Leaders - Hartford, CT
<p><span class="font_large">I had a great discussion on <strong>HPATV’s</strong> <strong>Hartford</strong> <strong>Community</strong> <strong>Leaders</strong> show this week, highlighting my children’s book <em>Niyah</em> <em>Zuri</em> <em>&</em> <em>The</em> <em>Pharaoh’s</em> <em>Throne</em> and the impact it’s making in the Greater Hartford community. Hartford Community Leaders began on May 1, 2014, as a community – based planning process bringing together residents, local organizations, police department and local politicians in a forum to come up with viable solutions to violence. Special thanks to hosts Donald Padgett and Lakia Shavon Lightner for spotlighting me in honor of <strong>Women’s</strong> <strong>History</strong> <strong>Month</strong> and recognizing my work with CT students.

Anna Nyakana on Hot 93.7 Morning Show- Hartford, CT
<p><span class="font_large">Kicked off my morning with Hot 93.7‘s Morning Crew Today! Had an amazing time sharing the message of diversity found in <em>Niyah</em> <em>Zuri</em> <em>&</em> <em>The</em> <em>Pharaoh’s</em> <em>Throne, </em>my journey as an indie author, the feedback I’ve been receiving from students and schools in Connecticut, and even my ultimate dream-supporter (Oprah!) with their listeners. Big thanks to the Morning Crew for the interview and their support: DJ Buck, Nancy Barrow, Stevey Newnez, and Genesis Robles! Watch the interview below!</span></p>

Anna Nyakana visits Capital Prep Harbor School - Bridgeport, CT
<p><span class="font_large">I had an amazing day at <a data-imported="1" href="https://capitalprepharbor.org" target="_blank" title="Capital Prep Harbor">Capital Prep Harbor School</a> in Bridgeport, CT spreading the Niyah Zuri message of Diversity and Believing in one's self! This forward-thinking charter school is changing lives by providing historically disadvantaged students with the college and career readiness skills needed to become responsible and engaged citizens for social justice. I spent the morning speaking with parents about their child's interests and how my book <em>Niyah Zuri & The Pharaoh's Throne</em> can further inspire their curiosity and love of reading and writing. After wrapping a book signing for select classes, I engaged with with 3rd and 4th grades to discuss their recent writing assignments and answer questions about the Niyah Zuri series. I was honored to autograph a copy of my book to a Kindergartener who stopped by the book signing and declared she had to go home with a copy; my youngest reader yet! Finally, the day concluded with an assembly of 3rd through 6th grades, <span style="text-decoration:underline">220 students</span> in all! I loved sharing excerpts from my book, the origin stories for my characters, and reminding them of the importance of diversity in the books they read. Black History month also reminds us to leave our own mark in history, so I encouraged each student to "<strong>always believe in yourself, others will follow</strong>."</span></p>

Anna Nyakana Visits Pretty Brown Girls Club at Thirman Milner School - Hartford, CT
<p><span class="font_large">Had a powerful Author Visit with the Pretty Brown Girls Club at Thirman Milner School in Hartford, CT. We spent a couple of hours discussing the importance of Sisterhood and creating a safe space for each girl to share some of the challenges they face daily. Pulling examples from my book "Niyah Zuri & The Pharaoh's Throne" and the fearless heroine Niyah Zuri, we developed solutions to these challenges and committed ourselves to BEING CONQUERORS!</span></p>

Anna Nyakana Visits Harbor Elementary - New London, CT
<p>What an exciting day spent with the bright minded students over at Harbor Elementary in New London, CT! I had a wonderful Author Visit with Ms Sklar's 3rd grade class as I read chapter excerpts from my book "Niyah Zuri & The Pharaoh's Throne", discussed the importance of diversity, and answered some Q&A. Looking forward to returning before the end of the school year!</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>

<p style="text-align: center;">June, 2017</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p align="left">Dear Carmen Arace Intermediate School Families,</p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p> </p>
<p align="left">Happy Summer!!!!</p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">The purpose of Carmen Arace Intermediate School's summer assignment is to encourage our students to practice and improve their literacy and numeracy skills. If children continue using their acquired skills during the summer, it helps prevent a serious loss of learning gained over the course of the school year.</p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p align="left">This year the students that will be entering grades five and six are receiving a novel as our gift to add to your home library. <strong>Our incoming grade five students are to read, Niyah Zuri </strong><strong>and the Pharaoh's Throne, by Anna Nyakana</strong> and our incoming grade six students are to read, Fish in a Tree, by Lynda Mullaly Hunt. Each student is to read their novel, answer a few questions, and complete activities over the summer. There is a suggested pacing schedule <a data-imported="1" href="http://www.bloomfieldschools.org/uploaded/downloads/Cais/CAIS_Incoming_5th_Reading_Assignments.pdf" target="_blank">included in this packet</a>. Students are to also complete the included reading log. Your children should be choosing books that are at his/her correct independent reading level. What a wonderful opportunity to read the novel and other books with your child during the summer months.</p>
<p align="left"> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Students are to arrive on the first day of school (Wednesday, August 30, 2017) with their novel and completed assignments to receive credit. Students are also required to complete a math assignment.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>This is also due on the first day of the 2016-2017 school year.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Our students will be recognized for their efforts at the beginning of the school year with literacy and numeracy celebrations. <span style="text-decoration:underline">Our reading celebration </span><span style="text-decoration:underline">will be for those students who complete the assignments for their grade's chosen novel and the reading log. </span><span style="text-decoration:underline">This log need% to have at least 10 books recorded to qualify.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Students that complete their math assignment will be invited to a celebration as well.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>We hope your family will enjoy these opportunities to continue your child's literacy and numeracy learning.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>"Niyah Zuri & The Pharaoh's Throne" was selected as the exclusive year-end gift for Pretty Brown Girls Club #85! As a special thank you, I surprised this group of 70 bright-minded girls with a book signing at their school, Metacoment Elementary, located in Bloomfield, CT. Enjoy your summer reading and may Niyah Zuri inspire you (and all children) to be fearless and always believe in yourself!</p>

Bank Square Books hosts Anna Nyakana Book Signing - Mystic CT
<p>Thank you to <a title="Bank Square Books - Mystic, CT" href="http://www.banksquarebooks.com/" target="_blank" data-imported="1">Bank Square Books</a> for hosting my book signing this past weekend in Mystic, CT. It was a successful event and I enjoyed inspiring new young readers of the Niyah Zuri series along with their parents and grandparents! Supporting independent authors is just as important as supporting independent bookstores that are locally owned and operated! Looking forward to my next book signing at a bookstore near you, make sure to sign up for my mailing list below to be notified of upcoming events in your area!</p>

Niyah Zuri author Anna Nyakana celebrates Pretty Brown Girl Day 2017 at Metacomet Elementary - Bloomfield, CT
<p>In celebration of Pretty Brown Girls Day 2017 and Women's History Month, I visited PBG Club #85 at Metacomet School in Bloomfield, CT. It was exciting to engage with 70 young girls to discuss and analyze the many layers of my main character Niyah Zuri. The end result was a discovery of themselves and that Niyah Zuri is a Pretty Brown Girl, just like all of them! Special thanks to PBG Club #85 educators/leaders Ms. Donna Mims and Ms. Regina Lester-Harriat for inviting me to join their kickoff meeting!</p>

<p>Niyah Zuri and The Pharaoh's Throne is heroine leading, compass wielding, time jumping, dinosaur evading, Nile River racing, & multiculturally educating! Niyah Zuri and The Pharaoh's Throne follows self-assured heroine Niyah Zuri as she & her best friends, Miguel and Hugo Gonzales, travel through time with the use of a mystical map. Children are taken on an adventure with every turn of the page as the trio forge their friendship through exploration. The series begins its epic tale when Niyah and the Gonzales twins discover an enchanted map in their clubhouse and are accidentally teleported to the Triassic period. After evading carnivorous dinosaurs, the time-jumping continues when they're sent back to Ancient Egypt in order to help a young Prince Tut overcome his fear of rule. The group race against the clock to complete their mission, returning to their time period in haste, as the Pharaoh's sudden death has the royal guards suspicious of Tut's foreign visitors.</p>
