Katina Nish's Bio
Hi, I'm Katina Nish(K.Nish). I'm a published freelance model/writer
with four years of experience in industrial like projects. Featured
on the number one multicultural online magazine, "Fashion Bomb
Daily", I've successfully modeled for several brands. Here's how it
started! One day on March 25, 2008, I found myself holding my son's
lifeless body. I visually struggled with that image for six long
years and the only way to express my broken insides was with
picture and words. My personal photographer, D Mayfield (at the
time) and I collaborated every week creating images. I then
moved on to pursue a strong modeling career which took me a great
few places. However, I realized that I equally wanted to write and
I had neglected my duties to do so. I had perfect images with no
purpose. That's when God told me to create an national movement
edifying/encouraging women. He told me as long as I forever
centered my pursuits with this platform he would supply the needed
liquids to my thirst. This is how "The Mourning Moms" came about!
"The Mourning Mom" is national movement dedicated to women of
childloss. From pregnancy loss, still birth, and infant/child loss
the goal is to keep you encouraged and in hope of what God said you
would naturally have. My ultimate goal is to travel the world
meeting women just like us. In hopes, that united together we
become the ultimate source of grief support. I plan to execute this
goal through biblical love and women empowerment.
