From Burnout to Boundaries w/ Nicole E.
Nicole is such a great example of someone who said, “I matter” and not only changed her future – but the future of her children, and the Black parents and children she supports in her work.
I’m so excited to expand her impact today by sharing an interview I did with her on today’s episode of the Revolutionary Rising podcast.
On this episode, “From Burnout to Boundaries”, Nicole and I discussed:
🎙️ how she broke free from the “immigrant child work ethic” that made her feel she needed to prioritize productivity over her needs
🎙️ why rage can be an important part part of self-advocacy
🎙️ tangible ways that advocating for herself has broken generational cycles for her kids
🎙️ why advocating for yourself is better for your work and everything else
…and so much more.

About Nicole:
Nicole’s mission is to centre and champion Black families. After many years in the private sector, a mid-career shift led her back to her roots as a writer, where she founded ParentingWhileBlack.com. Through this platform, she built an online community that amplifies the stories and experiences of parents, guardians, and caregivers raising Black children.
Her background as a corporate leader, work as an education advocate, and training in anti-racism and anti-oppression led her to co-found B.R.A.V.E. (Black Resilient Advocates for Vibrant Empowerment), a non-profit delivers leadership programs for Black and allied youth in schools. With B.R.A.V.E., Nicole partners with educators, administrators, and school communities to deliver weekly workshops that fill the need for visible Black role models in Canadian schools. B.R.A.V.E. spaces foster inclusion and encourage youth to find their voice and embrace their leadership potential. But the best part of Nicole’s world? Her family. She’s the proud mom of two of the universe’s finest humans, she is the partner that needs explaining, the inappropriate Auntie, wildly out-of-pocket Godmother, and mouthy middle sister. Nicole enjoys nothing more than spending time with her obscenely inclusive family and a healthy pour of red wine… usually in that order.
