Three multitalented teenage sisters from Columbus, Ohio Zalika, Zakiya, and Zahara Obayuwana will bring their creative energy to the stage at the New Americans Magazine 10th Anniversary Celebration, adding a vibrant musical performance to the milestone event.

Known across Central Ohio as gifted writers and published authors, the Obayuwana sisters have inspired young readers with their storytelling, imagination, and commitment to uplifting youth voices.

Their transition from the page to the stage reflects the breadth of their artistic talents and the growing influence of young creatives in the immigrant community.

“The sisters’ performance will highlight the spirit of innovation and cultural pride that has defined the magazine’s mission over the past decade.
