Nakia Henry is a proud mother, storyteller, and advocate for families navigating the NICU journey. When her daughter was born prematurely, Nakia found herself journaling through the highs and lows of NICU life—documenting the fears, the milestones, and the small victories that often go unnoticed.

What began as a way to process her own experience has grown into a mission: to help other NICU parents feel seen, supported, and empowered. With her debut book, Nakia blends personal diary entries with practical guidance, offering a voice of encouragement to families walking a similar path.

When she’s not writing, Nakia enjoys creating meaningful family traditions, sharing mom-life encouragement online, and sipping a good latte while chasing life’s sweetest moments.
