Welcome home, Nazeeh! ✨☕️🐶

Nazeeh Tarsha is a MENA/SWANA voice actor whose passion for acting is rivaled only by his love of cheese. With a BFA in Theatre Acting from the University of Florida, Nazeeh has found his way into the voice-over world with over 150 credits to date. From commercials, to video games to anime, there is a chance you've heard him in some of your favorite media.

Notable roles include Alhaitham in Genshin Impact, Chobei in Hell’s Paradise, Third User (Bruce Lee) in My Hero Academia, Kafka in Kaiju No. 8, Seth in Zenless Zone Zero, Jamil Viper in Disney Twisted-Wonderland: The Animation, Gaul in Monster Hunter Stories 3, Urmd Avdul in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Ōshi Ashioki in A Sign of Affection, Raihan in Pokemon: Twilight Wings, Gilgamesh in the Smite, and many, many more!

Outside of the industry, Nazeeh has found a passion in narrating children’s books as his means of giving back to the community! While still under construction, he hopes that his YouTube channel can be used as a resource for parents that want wholesome content for their children, teachers to share with their younger students, and for peers looking to get a taste of nostalgia and wholesomeness from one of their favorite voice actors.

Welcome home, Kena! ✨☕️🐶

is a California–based cosplayer who began her cosplay journey in 2021. She is known for creating, modifying and styling wigs with Afro-centric hairstyles, including afros, locs and braids, bringing greater representation and visibility to cosplay through her work.
As a strong advocate for diversity in the cosplay community, Kena has helped organize and promote online collaborations that highlight the voices, experiences and creativity of cosplayers of color. Through these projects, she has worked to create more inclusive spaces and celebrate representation within fandom communities.
Her impact extends beyond cosplay content. In honor of a fellow cosplayer, Kena helped raise nearly $3,000 for charity, demonstrating her commitment to this community.
