social impact strategist &
digital campaign producer

Hi, I'm Naya, a social impact strategist.

Embedding equity where grassroots stories meet global platforms.

Equity work that moves.

About Me

Every ecosystem I work within begins in the body: how we experience and metabolize beauty, birth, nourishment, movement, and loss. My work connects what most strategists keep separate: reproductive justice & border policy, hunger & displacement, the systems that feed us & the ones that fail us.

Over the past decade, I've led social impact strategy and storytelling for Fortune 5 companies and global nonprofits, shaping movements across 17 states and reaching millions. At UnitedHealth Group, I led campaigns for some of the world's largest brands (Optum, March of Dimes, Apple, Morehouse School of Medicine, Save the Children, Feeding America). Previously, I helped a fast-moving agency galvanize communities through creative campaigns around climate, democracy, and economic justice at Purpose PBC (KFF, Milken Foundation, Gates Foundation, MTVand produced film for international coalitions (Indo-Global Social Service Society, Social Impact Media Awards).
