NationX traces its roots to 1325 when a small fleet of African traders sailing across the Atlantic goes off course and runs aground on Taino/Arawak/Kalinago land. As the world of NationX has grown it has become a beacon of inclusive and imaginative abundance.

Marg. is led by cultural practitioner and NYC native, Chaya Howell.

The advisory is known for its mindfulness ideals and education-based approaches—leveling practical aspiration with rooted self-expectation.
