About

portrait

Founded by two second-generation Dominicanas, NI AQUÍ, NI ALLÁ (NaNa) was initially imagined in 2009 and eventually created in early 2010.

Inspired by the coils of our curly hair, the radiant color of our skin, the trials and tribulations of our immigrant families, the seasonings of our food, the pulsating rhythm of our music and the beauty of this grand earth in which we live in, we created this blog with the hopes of providing a raw and uncensored perspective on life & the overall experience of living between two worlds...neither here, nor there.

Through the publication (and sometimes re-publication) of analytical insights, thought-provoking imagery and personal accounts of our own life journeys, NI AQUÍ, NI ALLÁ aims to promote dialogue and awareness on a range of topics affecting Latinos and other minority groups & communities.

--------------------

Groana Melendez was born in Brooklyn and raised between Washington Heights and the Dominican Republic. She received a B.F.A in Art Photography from Syracuse University, and is currently living and working as a photographer in New York City.

Nicole Vásquez was born in Manhattan and raised in the Bronx until the age of sixteen, later settling in Bergenfield, New Jersey. She received a B.A in Mass Communication from Lehman College of the City University of New York. When she's not hunched in front of her computer, she can be found experimenting with the latest DIY cosmetic recipe or working with city students of various age groups. Vásquez has one son, a Lhasa Apso named Poochie. [Photo courtesy of our very own Groana @ www.groanamelendez.com]
