Meet Faraji Hannah-Jones, Project Creator 1619 Nikole Hannah-Jones Husband

Nikole Hannah-Jones and her husband Faraji Hannah-Jones met online in 1999 on AOL instant messenger. She used to go on the forum to chat at work and Faraji used to go on the platform to chat with her colleagues. She saw Faraji’s profile and liked the name without knowing if it was a boy’s or a girl’s name.

Nikole sent him a text saying “I like your name. What does it mean.” Faraji answered and Nikole found out that he was a guy, 23 years old living in Atlanta. Luckily, Nikole was moving to Atlanta at the time. They began exchanging messages and formed a friendship. But they have never met.

So Nikole took a photo, scanned it in her office after work, and sent it through regular mail. Faraji did the same. Nikole moved to Atlanta on Halloween Day and on November 1, 1999, they decided to meet in person. Because the image did not resemble the real person, she told her husband that if he didn’t like what he saw, he could drive away, and if she didn’t like it, she would do the same.

The couple moved in together almost a year into their relationship. They dated for four years before getting married in 2003. They then moved to North Carolina. Nikole is accepted into graduate school. They say “I Dos” after getting married. For Faraji, it was when they moved to North Carolina that he believed she was the woman for him.

However, his father was not satisfied and clearly stated, “I don’t follow women” but also did not interfere with his son’s decision. His father increasingly accepted his decision. As for Nikole’s father, he once told her that no one would marry her because she did not like to obey the orders of a dominant father.

Therefore, Nikole realized that Faraji was the type of man she was looking for.

Songs that remind them of each other? For Nikolai, that is All My Life by Casey & Jojo because that was the song that played at their wedding. For Faraji, the song that reminds him of his wife is You Are All I Need by Mary J Blige.

Daughter of Nikole and Faraji Hannah-Jones

Nikole and Faraji Hannah-Jones accidentally became pregnant with their daughter Najya. She wasn’t where she thought her career would be. Nikole was 34 years old when she became pregnant. When they found out that they were going to have a child, Nikole and Faraji decided that they would not raise their child in Portland because it was too white.

However, they never imagined they would end up in New York. Nikole said raising her daughter in New York has been the greatest gift.

In September 2022, Nikole started 7th grade. She added: “My daughter’s first day of 7th grade. She is trying to decide which new shoes to wear. I don’t have those problems. I got a new pair of school shoes and that’s what I wore. She doesn’t know the struggle.

Regarding sending children to school, Faraji told the New York Times: “My husband, Faraji, and I want to send our daughter to public school. Faraji, the eldest child in a military family, attended public schools serving military bases in the US and abroad. As a result, he had a highly unusual experience for a black American child: He had never attended a segregated public school a day in his life. Now he can walk into any room and immediately start a conversation with the people there, whether they are young mothers gathered at a meeting of housing project tenants or executives executives are eating on small plates at a fancy cocktail party.”
