Hi, I’m Naima Salvary, but my close friends call me Nai. I’m from Birmingham, Alabama. I go to the Alabama School of Fine Arts, I’m 14, and I’m an incoming freshman. At my school I’m a creative writing major but I wanted to explore different writing styles. Something interesting about myself that I like to tell people is that I’m a extremely picky eater. It’s not that exciting, but it’s something everyone around me notices sooner or later.
I don’t have much experience in journalism yet, but in this incoming school school year I plan to take the journalism and yearbook courses my school offers. I’m very interested in opinion pieces and entertainment. This past school year I had to do alot of research for papers and cite my sources which has also peaked my interest in Journalism.
Having a voice, and spreading awareness about topics is very important to me, and I feel like journalism is the perfect way to express that. Since I was little I’ve always been about speaking up and standing up for things that are important to me. I’ve always thought journalism is a great tool to inform and bring attention to important causes.
Writing in general has always been a huge part of my life and is probably the thing closest to me. Discovering different styles of writing such as journalism is important to me. I want to be able to find my voice.
