Naja Newell

(PERFORMER) is an artist and storyteller. Gravitating to human connectivity, she pushes boundaries to tell stories through different mediums, specifically dance and film. Though Naja has been featured in music videos for artists such as Kranium, she deeply enjoys being behind the scenes. She has directed and produced “A Thousand Words”, a documentary featured in CUNY Film Festival 2019, nominated for Best Screenplay and Best Documentary, as well as, HK/NY Exchange Film Festival. She has also produced several videos for Business Insider surrounding dance, travel, and food. Her aspirations are to continue to bring forward authentic stories that help change perceptions; to connect people cross-culturally, religiously, ideologically, and racially.
