Hiyaa! I'm Naomi. I'm from New York City, most recently Bushwick, Brooklyn. I love my city for all the life and vibrancy it has to offer, but I'm ready to see what else this country has waiting for me to discover.

Super laid back, as down to groove all night as I am to chop it up over good food and stimulating conversation. The flow is what I'm about.

On this planet to forge and nurture meaningful connection, contemplation and creation.

Feel free to ask anything more you'd like to know!
