Nadiya Jackson was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. Since she was a child, she has been immersed in the arts. Her film and television debut was at the age of 7, working on commercials and independent films. Nadiya continued her education at the Denver School of the Arts where she was a theatre major. Jackson briefly attended Cornish College of the Arts where she participated in various courses ranging from anthropology, woodwork, metalsmith, and comedy. Some recent work includes staged readings Happy to Be Nappy, A Case For Black Girls Setting Central Park on Fire, Lady in Red in For Colored Girls…,The Nacirema Society... Nadiya has had the incredible opportunity to direct her original play Zaryn featured in the Denver Fringe Festival. Recently, Jackson was a featured artist resident in Rino Art District’s No Vacancy. Nadiya has also co-curated an art exhibit at Union Hall Gallery, The Ultimate Boon. While Nadiya’s love for the arts was planted with an acting seed, that seed has been fertilised and has grown to an exploration of other forms of art practices. Jackson is on an ongoing mission of assuring she is never limited, stuck in a box that limits creative expression.
