N’yomi Allure Stewart also known as “Omi” was the first trans actress to graduate from the prestigious North Carolina School of the Arts with a B.F.A. in Acting. Omi is also a sister to her community through dance. An active member in the NYC’s ballroom scene, she is a part of the Iconic House of Juicy Couture, named one of the best houses in Kiki Ballroom history and was the first Kiki house to win HBOMax’s Legendary (Season 3). It was the black queer community that led N’yomi to her mission as a working artist and public figure: to represent black trans womanhood in a way that illuminates the full scope of humanity within transition.
