Are we still code-switching in 2026?

Today we're talking about the masks we wear, the cost of code-switching, and how to come home to your authentic self. Because the real you? She's not too much. She's not too loud. She's not too anything. She's PERFECT just as she is!

When was the last time someone called you 'strong'?

And you smiled and said 'thank you' like it was a compliment?

But what if 'strong' isn't the compliment we think it is? What if it's the very thing keeping us sick, tired, and disconnected from our full humanity?

Today, we're talking about the Strong Black Woman myth and why it's literally taking us out! And more importantly, how to break FREE in 2026.

If you've ever felt like you can't show weakness, can't ask for help, can't rest, this episode is for YOU.

What happens when you stop waiting for permission and start creating the life and work you were born to do?

In this episode of the energizeHER Podcast, I sit down with actress, writer, filmmaker, and activist Nicki Micheaux, a woman who has refused to let Hollywood or society define her path.

You may know Nicki from her breakout role on Lincoln Heights or from powerhouse performances on S.W.A.T., Good Trouble, Colony, and Animal Kingdom. But behind the credits is a creator who decided to stop waiting for approval and start writing her own narrative, literally.

Together, we talk about:
✨ Her journey from actress to bold storyteller and filmmaker
✨ Why Black women’s truths deserve to be told unapologetically
✨ The danger of waiting for validation, and how to break free from it
✨ What it really takes to go from idea to screen
✨ How activism and artistry fuel her purpose

Nicki reminds us that living in purpose, on purpose means creating the opportunities you’ve been waiting for, and having the courage to tell stories that matter.

🎧 Tap play to be inspired, challenged, and energized to finally step into your own spotlight.
