Niti was always a starry-eyed child.
She spent her childhood
nosediving into books,
gazing at magazines, watching movies
and listening to music —
with a burning desire to create her own.
At the age of 6, she began writing poetry.
Her passion consumed her, she would write
and read for hours everyday —
all through her preteen
and teen years.
Majethia started off her career
by winning 3 international awards
for writing from Kidspirit Online.
At the age of 15, she was invited to
New York University
to perform her award-winning work.
She was then selected to work
as an editor for Kidspirit.
These were the origins of a career
that would grow on and take her to
Australia, the United Nations,
and a lot more places…
the world became her oyster.
There was no looking back.
And this was only the beginning.
