Nidia Álvarez-Nguyen is a distinguished multimedia artist, creative visionary, and human rights advocate with deep Afro-Cuban and Lakota Sioux heritage. A former professional runway and print ad model, she transitioned into photography, curating, and creative direction, using her artistic voice to tell untold stories and uplift her community.
But beyond art, Nidia’s greatest role is that of a mother. Raising her son, Kai, has strengthened her belief in justice, truth, and the responsibility to create a safer, more equitable world. She understands that advocacy is not just about policy—it’s about protecting futures, ensuring that every child grows up in a world where integrity and fairness are upheld. This conviction led her to investigative work, where she could take a more active role in exposing corruption, holding institutions accountable, and fighting for those whose voices have been silenced.
Upon discovering the work of The Equal Justice Project Investigative Group and PoliceAbuse.com, Nidia knew she had found her calling. Their mission aligned perfectly with everything she had been searching for—direct action, in-depth investigations, and real change. Now serving as the Public Information Director and working toward becoming a private investigator, she plays a key role in uncovering injustices and advocating for the rights of the vulnerable.
Her work in investigative justice is an extension of the values she holds as a mother and community leader. With every case she takes on, every story she helps bring to light, and every effort she makes toward systemic change, she is shaping a better future—not just for her son, but for generations to come.
Through her unwavering dedication to both art and justice, Nidia continues to prove that creativity and activism go hand in hand. She believes in the power of truth, the necessity of accountability, and the impact of compassion-driven action. Whether behind the camera or deep in investigative work, her mission remains the same: to create, to expose, and to fight for a world where justice is not just an ideal, but a reality.
