Nychol Lyna Woods possesses an extensive background of more than ten years, having worked in the educational system (LACOE, Head Start, and LAUSD) and in non-profit and community development, serving as an administrator for Arts in Action Charter School, Little Voices and FAMLI Inc. As the Founder of Dream North Entertainment (DNE) and Co-Founder of Juggalot Company LLC, both established in May 2014, Nychol Lyna is in the business of project strategy consulting and is dedicated to helping others bring their vision to life while encouraging women, youth and community empowerment.
With having the opportunity to work with renowned figures, such as the late TV Personality Felicia “Auntie Fee” O’Dell, Comedian J. Anthony Brown, Former NFL Player Courtney Jackson, TrapKitchen, and Community Activist Rizza Islam, and being able to travel throughout the USA, Europe, Mexico, and Jamaica, Nychol Lyna has been able to instill originality and extensive expertise, enabling the establishment of an independent platform through the medias of literary arts, music, and film production, along with individual, for-profit and non-profit development. With more than a decade of strategic planning experience, along with community outreach, the mission of DNE is to promote the advancement of minority individuals and communities, while emphasizing the importance of bridging cultural gaps by way of collaboration and utilizing artistic expression as an alternative outlet.
Growing up in Los Angeles, California, 32-year-old Nychol Lyna has always aspired to share her experiences through written word. Being raised as an only child by her devoted single-parenting mother set the tone for entertaining herself through creativity. A life-altering auto accident in 2013 encouraged Nychol to achieve self-fulfillment, motivating efforts to obtain a Bachelor of Science and MBA in Management from California State University Dominguez Hills and a Master’s in International Business from Schiller University, along with residing in Spain for 1 year in 2015.
Nychol is working on several film, novel and community projects and has aspirations to touch at-risk women and children across the globe. Her upcoming children’s book, “Forgotten Baby” (expected release in June 2020) is an important story to share because it signifies the struggles that we endure as a people while trying to survive in this world without the support and guidance of others. At the age of 9, Nychol’s stepdaughter, Zemirah, had been exposed to the foster care system on multiple occasions (with her two younger siblings), before finding permanent placement with her biological father and Nychol in 2017. While Nychol Lyna has never been in foster care and without the love of both parents, her partner Arthur Romeo (Illustrator) has. This creative work will bring hope to our children and families exposed to the foster care system because it seeks to shed light on these circumstances that are occurring too often with our youth.
