She also hosts online courses for the crypto curious. In this venture of 3QualiTy where “Every Human is Equal,” Nicole brings the same passion she has for producing her creative projects through her independent film and digital media company EPIPHANY Inc. Nicole's media credits include producing and co-hosting the podcast, Before You Go, which features first-person accounts to history from centenarians, story producing for several HULU docuseries productions, and producing and directing independent films TITLE VII, The Double Dutch Divas!, Journeys in Black: the Jamie Foxx Biography, Gershwin & Bess: A Dialogue with Anne Brown, and the documentary series Little Brother.
