My Hero – Nina Womack
Actress, Director, Producer, CEO, Urban Media Collective.
Intent on giving back to the community and creating social change, this creative entrepreneur has over nine years experience producing & organizing the youth components at community events, such as the African Marketplace & Cultural Faire, The Malcolm X Festival, and the Leimert Park Village Book Festival.
Her company, Nile Productions mission statement is to provide “edu-tainment” for the youth through entertainment, education, and self- empowerment. During these years, she’s aligned herself with numerous non-profits who share similar views.
Having real-life experience as a troubled teen herself, Nina remains dedicated to helping youth. Under the umbrella of her film company, Urban Media Collective, she co-produced and co-directed a 30-minute inspirational documentary called, Exit Strategies profiling former gang members who have successfully exited out of gangs. This project was made possible from a grant from the Black Hollywood & Education Resource Center (BHERC Fights Back With Film Program) run by Sandra Evers-Manly.
I met Nina several years ago via MySpace. She is truly a hero.
It’s always nice to have people like Nina Womack in our world huh.
Well I think so.
People who actually care enough to come back to where they started from,people who give back to their communities….,AND PEOPLE !!!!!
Unlike so many who seem all wrapped up in just what and how much they can get for themselves like we so often see these days.

Is she related to Bobby Womack by any chance
The world is full of quiet heros and I have been fortunate to meet many in my lifetime. It’s what keeps me optimistic in this world. We need to celebrate people such as Ms Womack more loudly and more often.
This is just another of my blogs on my heroes from my heroes album. She is a very wonderful lady. Not as controversial as some.
