About
Hi. I’m Niki. I love apple juice, Animal Crossing, soft slippers, sneakers, fine writing instruments, coffee, collecting jazz vinyls, and floating aimlessly in the ocean under the sun. Sugar doesn’t belong in grits and Memphis barbecue reigns supreme. But I guess that’s not why you’re here.
I’m a multi-disciplinary artist, creative consultant, and organizational strategist.
I paint - mostly women of the African diaspora, sculpt - usually functional items with resin, draw digitally or with pencil, and help businesses run better by effectively facilitating business processes and performing cost and resource analysis. I’m also pretty damn good at branding, marketing, and auditing online businesses for efficiency, accessibility, and audience sensitivity. I have about 20 years of experience under my belt and about 40 more years to go. It’s important for me to lead my work with empathy, integrity, and dedication to the project.
Other Cool Stuff I’m Doing:
Black Girl Missing is a true crime podcast researched, written, produced, and hosted by me and my homegirls, Asa and FJ. We comb through cases of missing Black girls in the United States and dig into their stories with cultural nuance. We’re available on most podcast platforms for free!
Nossas is my online store where you can buy my art on home decor items. I even have removable renter-safe wall murals. There’s also prints, pillows, shower curtains, and other items. Some folks don’t live in environments suited for collecting wall pieces. Now you can have art everywhere!
Patreon is a subscription-only platform where Black Girl Missing posts exclusive content like our After Show and Bonus Episodes. In exchange for subscription pledges, we send our Subscribers merchandise as a thank you.
