Neda Najibi

My purpose in this world is to learn and develop a radiant spirit through closing my eyes to the deficiencies of other souls and to try to show pure and goodly deeds by helping my neighbor. I truly believe that I have not lived until I have lived to help you.

I was born in Tehran, Iran on December 31, 1966. My family of 6 moved to Chicago, Illinois in 1969. My father is an amazing man who speaks 13 languages. My mother as delicate as a rose, who lives in order for us (her children) to be happy and satisfied. I have two older sisters and 2 older brothers, one of which passed away at the age of 6 months.

I have been writing poetry since 1979, age 13 and began reciting my poetry in high school and later at gatherings and weekly on a local television program in Los Angeles. I have been published in approximately 6 publications and 1 newspaper and have self-published 3 books.

I moved to Hawaii in 1995 after graduating from California State University Northridge with a Bachelors of Arts degree in Journalism.
