Meet Nya Maingrette | Digital Creator

We had the good fortune of connecting with Nya Maingrette and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Nya, is there a quote or affirmation that’s meaningful to you?
My favorite affirmation is “you become by being.” It reminds me that at any given moment, I can change my life. We have the power to become and create who we we are and who we want to be. It’s a simple as being, and being intentional with your purpose.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I’ve always wondered how I would make my mark in the world professionally, but then I realized that it’s a lot more deeper than what’s on the surface. One thing that is for certain is my want to help people. Outside of my love for fashion and digital creation, I’ve been working in the hospitality business for about 3 years. I’ve helped many people in that sense, but my aim goes underneath the surface. I want to be able to bridge my love and passion for fashion with my love for helping others through my knowledge and advice. My job is to reach out to people near and far, and give them a safe place to grow into who they are intentionally becoming. I’m creating a community of people who want to dig deeper into the role that they play in life. A community based on consciousness, love and intentionality. I want to remind people of the true meaning of life, which is togetherness. I’ve learned that growth is not easy, it’s messy and life will throw continuous lessons at you until you truly learn from it. Also, we’re allowed to reinvent ourselves as many times as we like. We don’t need to fit inside of a box. We are multidimensional beings. I want my legacy to remembered through my words, my impact, my work and my ever loving and growing family/community.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If I had to create an itinerary full of my favorite spots to eat, drink or hang out in general, it would most likely consist of hidden gems in Fort Lauderdale. It’s my go-to place. When people visit Florida, Miami is the typical main attraction, and rightfully so, but I also feel that Fort Lauderdale is often overlooked. Maybe it’s for the best, but if you were considering checking out some cool places in Fort Lauderdale, I would recommend going to the Sawgrass Mills mall as it is the biggest mall outlet in south Florida. If you’re a lover of r&b music, there’s R&B Happy Hour every Friday at The Patio Friday’s. If you’re looking for fun nighttime activities, I would recommend checking out Glitch Bar. They have fun arcade games, but you have to buy a drink from the bar to have access to the arcade section!

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
To my close family and my soul family. I didn’t choose my family, I just happened to be born into a loving and supporting one. My soul family, however, is a community of people that my soul chose. We align. We grow in the same direction. We understand each other. We love each other, just like blood. I’m forever grateful for both families, for they both have seen many versions of me and continue to stay by my side as I forever become the woman I’m meant to be.
