Zay Niche Love Founder:
Meet ZaLayaa Jahzara
Founder & Visionary, Zay Niche Love
National Advocate • Public Speaker • Medical Zebra • Tech Creator • Artist • Culinary Creative • Youth Legacy Builder
Turning Invisible into Iconic isn’t just a tagline—it’s her lived legacy.
Born in Minnesota under crisis—dusky within 20 minutes, silent with no cry, and rushed to medical intervention—ZaLayaa entered this world fighting to be seen. From day one, she’s carried rare diagnoses, sensory overload, and invisible pain. But even in the quiet, she was becoming a force.
Now 13, ZaLayaa has spent nearly a decade transforming adversity into impact. She’s relearned to walk twice, relearned to golf three times, and redefined what youth resilience can look like—on the stage, in the lab, behind a mic, and across national platforms. She’s the founder and visionary behind Zay Niche Love, a brand where creativity meets advocacy, and lived experience meets unstoppable innovation.

What she does: Youth keynotes, panels, firesides, event openings, and on-camera storytelling that land with families, funders, and corporate leaders.
Topics: Invisible disability life (kid-centered), diagnosis journeys, comeback mindset (walk 2x, golf 3x), youth perspectives on sport, gaming, school, and creative expression.
Value for hosts: Clear calls-to-care, youth credibility, and reusable content (clips, quotes, reels).
💻 TECH & BIOMEDICAL INNOVATION
ZaLayaa started exploring code at age 5. Today, she works with basic HTML to make simple web pages and mini projects for school and personal creativity. She’s learning step by step (structure, links, images) and experimenting with how code can support storytelling and accessibility.
Her long‑term goal is to become a Biomedical Software Engineer—not because she’s building medical software now, but because her lived experience makes her curious about better tools for rare and invisible conditions. She’s laying a real foundation first: HTML basics, problem‑solving, and disciplined learning.
