Richmond, Virginia
I write and edit at the intersection of public service, publishing, community, and technology.

About
I am Khushnood Nabizada, an Afghan journalist and media entrepreneur based in Richmond, Virginia. My background is in editorial work, publishing, public communication, and program support.
I founded Khaama Press in 2010 and spent years working with news, digital audiences, and public-facing information. That work continues to shape how I think about trust, clarity, and the responsibility of publishing.
In the United States, my professional work has also included program administration, customer service, reporting, and coordination in public service settings. I value practical systems, careful follow-through, and clear communication.
I am also building 3A1Z Stories as a family storytelling and publishing project through ZubLink LLC. It focuses on parenting, child development, digital safety, AI, and social media literacy. I see it as a thoughtful venture, not a replacement for my professional public service work.
