Nicole is an actor, director and educator who was compelled to speak out against the harmful and unnecessary practice of cultural erasure in traditional theatre programs.  In her 2018 American Theatre article, Training With A Difference Nicole called on theatre institutions to disrupt homogeneity by embracing conscientious training practices and implementing cross cultural collaborative curriculums.  Currently Nicole travels both domestically and internationally partnering with individuals and organizations to help them adopt an anti-racist theatre ethos.  She has shared her work on various panels and has presented at TCG conferences, National Black Theater Festival and Goldsmiths University in the UK.  She has given anti-racist theatre workshops at Yale, NYU, University of Cambridge, National Theater Institute, and more.  Nicole is a proud member of the 2018 artEquity cohort. She resides in Washington DC with her husband and three heartbeats (children).
