Sharniqka Smith mostly known as Nik-J. created the black owned social app called WOOJAVI with her partner Akia. "I had the vision for a social media app that was more authentic and intimate than traditional social apps." She said. Her inspiration started when her friend PJ became a lone survivor of a house massacre, after being shot 6 times in the chest, the head, leg, arm and back.

"I couldn’t understand what he going through, but I wanted so badly to give my support…he was the inspiration for the WooJavi App." Nik-J grew up in Chicago, where gang violence was highly rampant and untreated PTSD was even higher from living under war like conditions.

She has a  Bachelor of Science Degree in Food Science and Engineering, MBA, and Nursing Degree.  The App is available on IOS and Android.
