Njaimeh Njie grew up in Stanton Heights and came back to Pittsburgh after going to school in St. Louis and doing some traveling. She has since stayed to develop her skills as a filmmaker. Njaimeh balances the roles of filmmaker, producer, and event planner. Currently, she is working on a documentary that follows the lives of 50 black women in and around the city of Pittsburgh. She is also the woman behind Pop Up Premieres, an event that screens black films (mostly ones that have not yet been screened). The goal of the event is to expose audiences to the diversities within the genre and allow for important discussions on race and representation to take place. Both honest and passionate, Njaimeh talks about some important topics such as the representation of African-Americans in mainstream culture, the tendency of women to sell themselves short, and the pros and cons of validation. She brings an important perspective onto these topics and is doing great and exciting things in Pittsburgh. Be sure to check out the links below to find out what she is up to!
