Year & Major
My name is Naya Hair, and I am a Media Arts and Design Major with an Entrepreneurship minor! I am a Senior! What brought me to this fellowship is, I was a fellow last year, and I had such an incredible experience getting to learn with all the other fellows! I enjoy project work as well as being a part of initiatives that can help to make an impact both on JMU's campus and off! I really enjoyed how the fellowship helped me to grow into my leadership, my ability to be creative, and to collaborate with others.
What inspires your creativity?
What inspires my creativity is working with other people. I am my most creative self when I get to branch off ideas with other people. I also think that being in different environments inspires my creativity as well.
What problem in the world would you most love to solve?
The problem in the world that I would most love to solve is everyone's ability to be able to feel understood and seen. I would love for everyone in the world to always feel like they are being represented in the way that matters to them.
What challenge motivates you to keep learning?
The challenge that motivates me to keep learning is when I don't understand something it makes me want to understand and learn even more.
What are you most curious to explore at JMU X-Labs this year? Any specific skills or experiences you’re excited to gain?
I am most curious to explore project management and for more opportunities to lead project initiatives. I am excited to gain more leadership skills. Possibly more presentations!
Share something unique or unexpected about yourself!
I went to Scotland this summer and I hiked Arthur's Seat!
