About Me

Nya Kumari was born and raised in Houston, Texas. She was raised by a single father where she developed ambition and a determination to succeed. Her high school years and graduation took place at Jesse H. Jones High School in South Park, one of Houston's hoods. She went on to attend HBCU Wiley College, majoring in Criminal Justice and went home to graduate from HBCU Texas Southern University with her bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice minoring in Communication. She also collected a Merit Award, the Dean's List, and Honor Roll. Her proudest accomplishment is giving birth to her son, Lemar, and raising him as a single mother. She worked vigorously to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table. Her vast array of jobs and work experience include the City of Houston, the State of Texas, and the Federal Government, bartending, teaching adults English as a second language, substitute teaching special needs, driving Uber, and delivering Grubhub, – sometimes working three jobs at a time. Her life was turned upside down when she fell in love with the wrong guy. Despite that traumatic, volatile relationship, she is still a hopeless romantic, believing in love at first sight and finding a soul mate.
