She also serves as a consultant and keynote address speaker for the national +IMPACT Conference where she encourages brands to embrace the power of social impact storytelling in efforts to appeal to the growing millennial/social conscious demographic. In 2018 Nzinga became a writer and producer for Season 2 of the award-winning scripted series, 'GodComplX,' which is a social impact initiative in conjunction with Google's Computer Science in Media and Diversity team in efforts to inspire girls and women of color to pursue careers in STEM / STEAM.
