SUFANA WAJED

Sufana Wajed is a native of Buffalo, NY and graduate of the State University of New York College at Buffalo. She attained a degree in Broadcasting and soon thereafter joined Buffalo’s ABC affiliate WKBW-TV as an engineer.

During the 13 years of Sufana’s career at WKBW-TV she became a member of the Western New York Minority Media Professionals, Inc. as the secretary and then vice president. Over the years Sufana and members of the organization employed at several media outlets began to see the many biases of news reporting and decided to create a magazine style program called Up Front TV. This program highlighted the positive contributions of blacks, not only in Buffalo, NY, but across the country. With her many years of experience, Sufana began as a producer and then on to become a reporter and host for Up Front TV.
Sufana is currently the production coordinator for Buffalo’s PBS station, WNED-TV. She has worked with numerous national and international producers on coordinating the production and delivery for broadcast of programs such as The War of 1812, Underground Railroad: The William Still Story, Frederick Law Olmsted: Designing America and countless others.

This past year Sufana became a founding member of Panthfrica, a collective of artists who create ways to inspire and re-imagine black lives through events, exhibits and workshops. She is an artist by nature and extends the limb of a family tree of artists. Sufana has a passion and love for colors, shapes and textures and how they play a role in design. She sees art in all that her eyes behold.
