What Our Community Partners Say

NOMA is relevant to Pittsburgh because it provides a space for the advancement of [and advocacy for] minority professionals in city with a very small minority population.

Christian Hughes
Chief Executive Dreamer, Drafting Dreams

NOMA has a distinct voice to be the change in the profession, practice, and Pittsburgh. I AM NOMA because it’s my responsibility as an emerging architect to address the challenges affecting those without a voice.

Lakeisha Byrd
Owner, Communion

I believe in NOMA, because as a minority woman in the field of architecture, I recognize some of us face unique challenges in the profession, and NOMA gives us a space to both share those challenges, while also providing a platform to promote our colleagues and enhance the impact that we can have in the local community
