MTV Entertainment Group aims to make ‘Black History Now’ with new Black History Month campaign this month. The network has been highlighting Black trailblazers and content creators throughout the month including Brooklyn-based nail artist, Aja Walton. Black History Month is more than examining the past, but also spotlighting the future of Black creative icons.

The Atlanta-born artist took her talents to New York six years ago upon graduating from Howard University in Washington, D.C. A mathematician major worked in tech by day while pursuing her creative passion of crafting specially designed nails by night. The word traveled fast of Aja’s talents, and she began attending and working for NYFW every year thereafter.
This year, Aja’s visible everywhere including MTV’s latest campaign. In celebration of Black History Month, she teamed up with the music network to create nail art inspired by a few of the most iconic Black albums of our generation. She first debuted the collaboration with a nail set inspired by Sza’s CTRL album.
