Professional Development
Nia has taken opportunities to develop her skills in grassroots fundraising, research, and film-making.
In 2008, Nia was selected as one of eight young activists of color to receive extensive training in grassroots fundraising techniques through the Grassroots Institute for Fundraising Training's Fellowship program. The fellowship included training in special events, phone banking, mail appeals, and strategic planning. During the fellowship, Nia interned with the Colorado Anti-Violence Program (CAVP), a non-profit organization which works to end violence within and against Colorado's lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer communities. After she completed her fellowship, CAVP hired Nia as a grassroots fundraising specialist.
After graduating from Mills College, Nia began an internship at DataCenter, a research justice organization. There Nia helped to create the Trans, Two-Spirit, Intersex Landscape Survey and Organizational Directory by collecting data national transgender leaders, drafting and revising the survey, and creating a database of transgender-serving organizations across the US. She also took several research classes at Mills College including Research Methods for Ethnic Studies, Participatory Action Research for Social Change, and Senior Seminar.
In 2011, Nia enrolled in the Queer Women of Color Media Arts Project's filmmaker training program. The course covered screenwriting, cinematography, casting, lighting, sound, editing, directing, producing, and distribution. At the end of the program, Nia had completed The Craigslist Chronicles, a comedic short about apartment-hunting in Oakland. The film premiered in the US at the Queer Women of Color Film Festival in June of 2012, and Canada in October as part of the Trans Film Series at the University of Toronto's Centre for Women and Trans People.
In 2012, Nia began an eight month New Media and Communications internship with Race Forward/Colorlines.com. At Colorlines, she honed her copywriting skills by promoting Colorlines articles on Twitter, published an in-depth reported piece and two narrative comics, and engaged the Colorlines community through her weekly Reader Forum blog posts. She also curated the Race Flicks film series at the organization's national Facing Race conference, and livetweeted the conference, helping it trend nationally on Twitter.
