Hello and welcome to Uncovering Your Power!
I humbly appreciate your interest and look forward to inspiring and elevating your life. Writing has always been my passion. I am so thankful for the opportunity to expand upon my gifts and share them with you.
I currently reside in Maryland but have spent most of my life in Virginia. I grew up in the rolling mountains of the Blue Ridge and while I don’t visit as often as I should, I enjoy calling this home. I grew up the eldest of my adopted mothers' six children with a number of other half-brothers and sisters, adopted and foster brothers and sisters that drifted in and out of my life and our household.
​
Let's just say, my upbringing was complicated, to say the least.
​
Growing up the oldest of so many in a broken home, similar to many of my peers, likely fueled my interest in advocacy and leadership. For as long as I can remember I have always been a person who went against the grain, asked the difficult questions and stood up for those whose voice was silenced for one reason or another. I pride myself in my character but oftentimes question the best approach to resolving key societal issues that many people don’t even acknowledge as concerning.
I myself have suffered at the hands of mental, emotional and physical abuse not only in instances of romantic relationships but also in aspects of my childhood. Time and time again I found myself asking, why me? Why did I seem to get the brunt end of so many of my relationships? Why did I seem to be on the receiving end of pain after trying to invest the best of me?
I found that the journey to mending relationships started with a focus on mending ME.
I used to feel so bad for investing in myself - only thinking of myself, seeking my own healing and other ‘Nicole focused’ thoughts and actions. I’d have rather given myself to all of these other relationships in the hopes that one day, they would invest back into me in return. I now know that this is not the path to healing that I imagined, and if I were to continue down that path, there might be little to none of me left to give.
So I began to invest in myself. In my healing. In turning away from unhealthy relationships and seeking resources and support systems that would aid in healing the little girl that grew into the battered and grown up me. I realized that so much of the pain that I harbored in my childhood, seeped into the folds of my adult relationships and my approach to loving. The same approval and recognition that I was seeking as a little girl, was apparent and a red flag for pursuers to run from or take advantage of, while in a relationship with me. While in the midst of my last unhealthy relationship, riddled with physical and emotional abuse, I made a pact to myself that I would learn to love myself better than I ever had before and that I would move forward and only choose lovers and bonds that shared that same outlook.
What came from that pact and that energy was my first book, Uncovering Your Power: The Guidebook to Escaping Emotional and Physical Abuse. In this book I share the fictional story of Michelle and Dwayne, a couple suffering to love one another with a healthy and fruitful love that would replenish their suffering spirits from the pain that so many of us have experienced as people of color in America.
In writing this book, I poured out my pain. The pain from my most recent relationship filled with instances of abuse and insecurity. I poured out the pain of my childhood. The frustrations I had growing up in a broken home with no example of true leadership and a healthy foundation. I poured out the pain I felt in not having a support system during my most influential times of need, not only as an adult but also as the little girl who knew there was more to this world than what I experienced around me.
I poured out a pain in this book that stemmed from problems deeply rooted in the black community that few of us care to acknowledge today. That being, the effects of the attack on the black family that has left us in the shambles that so many of us are in the midst of making sense of today.
Uncovering Your Power, the book and the foundation aim to be a source of hope and a source of organization in freeing those who want it from the bondage of our past. The bondage that continues to hold so many of our minds and actions in a place of pain instead of a place of healing and deliverance.
My main hope as an author and a leader are to empower individuals to find a path to healing and beginning a more fruitful approach to love and legacy building. If we could heal our families and ourselves, there is no limit to what we can empower ourselves to do as a community.
Uncovering Your Power is my seed to discovering a new path and a new journey for my people. I believe that the rose that grew from concrete doesn’t have to walk alone anymore. We can all be a part of healing and bettering our communities. It starts at an individual level and can only grow from there.
