N Y N E  L Y V E S.
CC : Zweditu,is an African Name Right? Ethiopian to be Exact. The name Zweditu immediately brings to mind Empress Zweditu Of Ethiopia ,you share the same name, 
what does your name mean to you?

NN : "I was named after Empress Zewditu, Queen of Kings. Zewditu means Crown and my middle name is Jewel. Crown Jewel, a name fit for an Artist; you can say Mama knew what she was doing:)
I am heavily inspired my Ancient Traditions and African tribes, whole heartedly. I love my people and I am happy to be a Child of The Universe, so that I may explore different cultures"
                                                            -
                                           CC :How did the name "NyneLyves" come about?
                            NN- Nyne Lyves. In short, 9 has always been my favorite number. I happened to be on 9th st in my hometown (DC), on my Birdday (6/12) which equals 9. My girl was telling someone he should go by this 3 digit number and I thought that was sweet. So I said hey!!! My favorite number is 9 and we're on 9th st. It all came together and the Lyves (lives) is because I am Nyne and I lyve.

      CC- How Are You Inspired by Africa?

                                   NN  : "I am heavily inspired my Ancient Traditions and African tribes, whole heartedly. I love my people and I am happy to be a Child of The Universe, so that I may explore different cultures."


CC- Break down your style, influences..
NN: "I am heavily inspired by both my Mom and Nana...whose clothes I'm frequently seen in. I also live the 70's and Jimi Hendrix is my Daddy. I admire free spirits, such as: Erykah Badu, Steven Tyler, Solange, and Lisa Bonet...because they simply do what they please. I'm all about that."

CC:What Thought process/direction/inspiration goes into your Jewelery line?
NN:" I'm actually in the process of revamping Nyne Lyves. In doing so, I am visiting several Museums/ Parks/ and old Vintage stores to draw inspiration. I sketch to get all my ideas out and bring chains and patterns together. I have to listen to Jimi Hendrix while designing. I go for what I love because I can not make anything that I do not stand behind."
CC:Your a Vogue Influencer, how does that feel? what does it mean to you and what platform has it been able to provide you with?
-
NN:"I tell people all the time, it's the title I adore. I mean it's flippin VOGUE, you know the Fashion Mecca!!! I am truly honored because this is the best recognition of Style; for that I am grateful."


CC: Not Only do you create and Influence you also Give Back, tell us more about that...


NN: "While I love making jewels and such' a lot of people done know that I work with the youth. This will be one of my many passions in life that I can only hope and believe will flourish into greatness. As we all know "the children are the future" and it is one of my tasks, to allow them to see this and many others who do not invest in our youth."
