I’m Adia Faun. 

Always the creative, and professionally speaking, “the writer.” Excitedly shifting from the ad world to the children’s storytelling landscape (from the page to the storytime circle). 

Current quest: Continue world-building, encourage imagination, celebrate children’s individuality, and bring major fun to families. 

Previous adventures: Writing, event production, marketing, corporate, and community cultural cultivation

And within the winding, fortuitous road through the working world, my constants remain human consideration, providing education & aid, and brightening someone’s day.

From sunny spring to wondrous winter, I was Assistant Director of Children’s Programming, in addition to serving as Assistant Floor Manager during the immersive seasonal experiences at HERØ in the illustrious 30 Rockefeller Center. The centerpiece of my time at the space was leading storytime during the family-fun days. Reading from a collection of curated books sourced from local bookstores, the NYPL, and a personal collection of Kinder-approved materials.
