Think Lupita Nyong'o's dignified vulnerability, Rosario Dawson's animal magnetism, and Zendaya’s wry, down-to-earth quality. Nadira's acting career was catalyzed by her winning a full scholarship at the historical Susan Batson Studio, on which she remained for 3 years. She then completed the William Esper 2-year program with Acting Coach, Barbara Marchant. This education has granted Nadira the mastery of her instrument in the realms of surrealism, drama and comedy and as a result, she has been seen for iconic roles in TV and Film. Winner! 2018 Best Actress Award in the Windy City Film Festival ( We’re big in Chicago ).

Nadira Foster-Williams began her life's calling as an actress, writer, and multi-medium artist in the void between the quiet suburbs and bestirring urban pavements of Newark & Plainfield, New Jersey and Crown Heights, Brooklyn. A lifelong child, dreamer, and professional powerhouse with an awesome penchant for intimate detail, Nadira can best be understood by her name, which in its pure Arabic root means, "rare and unusual gift."

"I am a soul having a human experience, invested in the glory of expressing and living the everyday elation and heartache we have awakened to call our life here on earth. My art is rooted in connecting to, uplifting, and challenging people in exaltation of the selves we have been and have yet to be as a collective."
