Hello Friend. My name is Niani, the name of an ancient West African city. My middle name is Sekai, which means laughter. My last name is Feelings. All of these are good names for me because I enjoy learning about my African heritage, I laugh a lot, and I have feelings and opinions about everything. I spend most of my time singing, dancing, and acting in community theater. I hope to be on Broadway one day!

Listen to me read my favorite poem  'Glennis' from
Sitting Pretty.

I love visiting schools with my mom, Dinah Johnson. So I also hope that I might get to meet you one day! For now, see the Photos of the people and memories that are part of our lives. 

My mommy is going to read the poem she wrote for me, 'Niani' from Sitting Pretty.
