Founder Profile
NAIMAH GRAYson
Creative Director of In The Gray Studios.
one of the hardest truths to come to terms with is that at no time will you be able to heal fully. to live is to experience. to experience is to heal. it is also important not to get lost in healing to the point that you no longer live.
Story
Writer, director, actor, singer, game master, and producer.
Being a confident person who can be shy at times can confuse others. I have my own rich, deep inner world I often get lost in, and it's a place of comfort to me. I believe in people, I believe in stories, and I believe in platforming and amplifying the voices of those most marginalized.
When I get inspired by things, I naturally lean toward inquiring about them to help them get the attention they deserve, and the rest is history.
Grief, service, and thirty years of paying attention are the core of the reason why this company exists. It took me years to recover from what I lost, yet I've always found ways to return to myself. Sometimes I return in different ways, but I always return with more clarity and compassion to give.
My mission is simple: be a light in the dark, and treat others how I'd like to be treated.
how would i like to be perceived?
intensely soft.
mysteriously loving.
lone socialite.

FAQ
Questions people ask
What does Naimah do at In The Gray Studios?
She's Creative Director, writer, director, actor, singer, and producer. She drives the engine of the studio.
What does "the gray" actually mean?
Stories become most honest when they stop pretending that pain has a single shape. That is the gray for me. Not indecision or vagueness but a precise emotional space where truth has the tendency to live.
What is she working on right now?
DIS/ORDERED, a limited series adapted from her memoir These Hands, and original music as NONYmauz.
Is These Hands based on her own life?
Yes. It's a hybrid memoir, thirty years in the making, documenting survival, service, and the slow work of reclaiming a life. It's also the source material for DIS/ORDERED.
i will never stop fighting for the people, but i have learned to never place my life in danger for someone else's benefit.
