Meet the Founder

Hi, I’m Niya 🤍

I’m a licensed esthetician, a professional makeup artist, and a titleholder with over 10 years of experience in pageantry. Throughout my journey, I have been honored to hold multiple state titles and a national title, opportunities that have allowed me to travel, connect with diverse communities, and grow into the woman I am today.

Pageantry has shaped so much of who I am, especially when it comes to confidence, communication, and service. It has given me a platform, but more importantly, it has given me a purpose.

I have always loved working with people, uplifting others, and creating meaningful connections. Impact Now is a reflection of that passion, a space where I combine my love for service, leadership, and creativity to inspire others to step into their own ability to make a difference.

About Impact Now

Impact Now was created with one simple but powerful belief, change does not have to wait.

In a world where big problems can feel overwhelming, Impact Now exists to remind people that small, intentional actions done consistently can create real, lasting change. Whether it is giving your time, using your voice, or supporting a cause you care about, impact is something anyone can make right now.

This platform highlights meaningful stories, monthly challenges, and organizations making a difference, while also giving you simple and accessible ways to get involved. Impact is not about being perfect or doing everything, it is about choosing to do something.

My “Why”

Service has always been a part of my life, but over time, my perspective on it has grown.

I have seen how many people genuinely want to give back, they just do not know where to start, or they feel like what they can do is not enough. That belief is what inspired me to create Impact Now.

I wanted to build something that makes giving back feel approachable, not overwhelming, something that shows people that their efforts, no matter how small, are meaningful and needed.

You do not need a title, a huge following, or a perfect plan to make a difference. You do not have to wait until you have more time, more resources, or more experience.

Impact starts with what you have, where you are, right now.

A Message to You

If you are here, this is your reminder,

You have the ability to make a difference.
Your time matters.
Your voice matters.
You matter.

And you do not have to wait.

Let’s make an impact, now!
