Nardos Assefa was born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and grew up in the greater Seattle area. She is an ambitious example of the brilliant black youth she works to cultivate at LANGSTON. Her background in her school’s Associated Student Body as Freshman Class President makes her an ideal candidate for the youth representative work she will be doing, as well as increasing the quantity of youth at LANGSTON. She has experience in event planning and fundraising, having planned an event for hundreds of people. Nardos is Valedictorian of her Rainier Prep Class of 2023 and personally places a big emphasis on the importance of education. She has been involved in art her whole life, personally always trying new subjects in art and even creating a mural for her prior middle school. She loves the stories art tells and does the same through her own. She is an artist, a scholar, and a woman of faith.
