Nzingha Stewart is an NAACP Image Award-nominated director. A graduate of NYU, she started her career in music videos, shooting for artists like Common, Eve, Jay-Z, and 50 Cent, before going on to a successful career as a commercial director.

She is the producing director and co-executive producer on From Scratch. Nzingha is someone I admire for her vision, sublime creative sensibilities, her leadership as a female producer, and her big heart. There is no one you'd rather go to dinner with than Nzingha, she will make you try everything and order double desserts. I love her “yes, and” approach to life. You can see her vision and heart all over the first episode of From Scratch.

In the first episode of Escape With Nate, I sit down with my friend Nzingha Stewart, the incredible writer, director (Little Fires Everywhere, Grey’s Anatomy) and purveyor of superb destinations. In the episode, Nzingha reveals her favorite travel destination of all time – Morocco! She shares with me how she fell in love with not only the country, but her now husband, Mouhssine; and the three Moroccan weddings that followed. No, that is not a typo – three weddings, all to the same man. Nzingha discusses how writing a location based script during the pandemic has given her a way to travel differently, and how she strongly advocates (when it's safe again) that all women find opportunities to travel -- as if their lives depended on it. Finally, she breaks down her packing rituals, which rival that of even the most experienced travelers in the game. Don’t miss this inaugural episode of Escape With Nate. Produced by 31 Dogwood Productions & Tasty Shop Media. Production Sound Design by Wein Designs. Escape with Nate is brought to you by Entertainment Speakers Bureau.
