We had the good fortune of connecting with Nicola Nixon and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Nicola, how do you define success?
Define Success Success is often defined as “the fact of getting or achieving wealth, respect, or fame,”.
I view success as a journey and not a destination. Success is living out my purpose and full potential. Not having to explain what’s being accomplished and others are able to see it; is also a form of success.
Success also means taking accountability for my own journey in every area of my life.
Every milestone; whether big or small moves me forward to another level of success.
Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Currently I am a Supervisor for the one of the largest care managed organization (Centene Corporation) overseeing twenty five Referral Specialist; within the Medical Management department.
What sets me apart from others is my resilience and integrity.
I am most proud that I never gave up and continued to push through and break generational curses. Not only for myself but for my children and generations to come.
I am where I am today because of hard work, perseverance, resilience and passion. The journey has not been an easy one; but undeniably worth it. I am certainly a diamond in the rough.
I overcame my obstacles by creating solutions and not allowing myself to continue to be a part of the problem.
To add to that I had three women that never gave up on me and saw potential in me when I couldn’t see it for myself. So shoutout to them (TracyAnn M., Karline H. and Lakisha M.) you guys are appreciated.
I have learned many lessons In life but the most important lesson is to stay true to who you are. Do not allow anyone to dictate your happiness, your next move or interrupt your energy.
My brand is (A&A Princess Collection LLC..) built on passion, freedom and impact.
Passion for beauty, freedom to make my own schedule, create financial freedom and secure my children’s future; and to impact the lives of women daily. By providing luxurious wigs, bundles, eyelashes and silk protective hair care products such as double layer bonnets and edge bands.
My business stands out because I stand on fair pricing, quality hair and protective hair wear that provide long lasting results.
I am a walking billboard for my business.
If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
First we will focus on self-care: – Massages
– Mani and pedicures
– relax for the remainder of day 1
Next, we would go to dinner at one of my new favorite places to eat (coopers hawk and definitely order two bottles of my favorite Passionate fruit wine)
We would then hang out for a night out to a nice lounge that has hookahs and feel good music
We would definitely have to add a beach day. The ocean is so peaceful to me; especially at night.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My Princesses deserve a shoutout.
My daughters are my motivation. They inspire me to keep pushing when the going gets tough.
