Nubién’s Q&A…

“I don’t know about tomorrow because God is Today.”

Open and free-spirted, Nubién is sassy, feisty and playful in front of the camera and she is not much different when she is up-close and personal. Nubién is that upbeat, uniquely determined Urbanista who ‘loves life despite all the obstacles that come her way.’ She will tell you without hesitation that she has no time for those who have no time for her and as you get to know her you quickly realize that she is simply a woman seeking to have and share happiness. The young student’s heart is in the arts (she is a poet and spoken word artist) and her savvy mind is constantly “reaching for knowledge, opening doors for success and kicking failure in the ass.”
