Nicole Is Here is a space for women who are done shrinking themselves. A place for honest conversations about women, culture, politics, power, and pleasure.
​
Rooted in intersectional feminism, Black liberation, anti-racism, and cultural commentary, the blog explores the realities of womanhood and femininity in contemporary society through storytelling, cultural critique, and personal perspective.
​
Launched in 2020, the blog examines the intersections of race and gender in America, challenges limiting narratives about women of color, and unapologetically celebrates the beauty, power, complexity, and sensuality of Black femmes.
​
Whether the subject is current events, pop culture, relationships, race, feminism, pleasure, travel, or the everyday experience of being a woman in the world, Nicole Is Here cultivates conversations that challenge what we've been taught to accept as normal.

 

Meet Nicole

She's a cat mom, news junkie, live music addict, pop culture enthusiast, and lifelong observer of the world around her. She's passionate about social justice, women's autonomy, Black culture, politics, and conversations that challenge what we've been taught to accept as normal.
