Announcing Our Newest Region: Southwest! (California, New Mexico, and Arizona)
May 1st welcomed the launch of N4’s latest North American region, Southwest. To be led by Taelor Lewis, former Mid-West Regional Manager, N4 will now operate in this new region which covers Southern CA, New Mexico and Arizona. N4 celebrated the launch of our Southwest hub by taking part in the Santa Fe International Literary Festival’s Young Writers and Readers Program, hosting an N4 Story Exchange at Santa Fe Community College.
Of her new role and region, Taelor Lewis, had this to say about N4 Southwest, “I am excited to start my new role as Southwest Regional Manager and to represent Southern California, Arizona, and New Mexico. Being raised in Southern California has exposed me to diverse cultures, languages, and traditions from an early age. This rich tapestry of diversity has made me appreciate the unique stories and perspectives that this region represents. The convergence of Native American, Latino, and Black culture gives the region a unique identity, reflected in its art, music, cuisine, and shared experiences.
As N4 expands to the Southwest I am eager to provide opportunities for dialogue, education, and a deeper understanding of the intertwined narratives of these diverse communities. Stories have the power to heal, unite, and create lasting connections, I am thrilled that the Southwest region will add their stories to Narrative 4.”
