S2E10: Black N' Madrid with NJ Omorogieva

Published: July 3, 2021, midnight

On this week’s episode of Foot On Yo’ Neck, we are joined by our lovely guest and fellow bruin NJ Omorogieva to discuss what it’s like living outside the US and the impact it has on daily life as a Black woman.NJ's pronouns are She/Her. NJ is an LA native currently living in Madrid,Spain and preparing for her move to London, England to continue her education journey. For the past two years, she has worked as an English Language Teacher Assistant in a Spanish high school. Though her job is arbitrary at times, she gives purpose to her position by curating activities and presentations highlighting BIPOC issues and history and discussing social issues with her students. Her time in Spain has changed her perspective and future plans significantly, offering her an alternative Black existence and decentralizing the American Black narrative. These realizations are ever present in her work, art, and spiritual journey. If you resonate with any part of our conversation and would like to further support NJ’s work, be sure to follow them on instagram @radgal_nj and her art page @radgal.paints.
