My name is Nikki Ray. I am a Wife to 1, Mom to 2. I live in a house full of boys, and I am their Queen! I am a believer in Christ, and I fully subscribe to the narrative that Women are an amazing beings, equipped to do great things.
One constant has always been the military lifestyle. I grew up a military kid, traveling the world, and I get to give those travels to my own children by being a Veteran, and being married to a military member. I enjoy connecting with military spouses and providing resources where needed.
A fun passion of mine is sports, and coaching allows me to give back to athletes, much like my coaches did for me.
I could be a student for life. Any opportunity I have to learn, or research, I make it happen. I am currently pursuing my MBA, and certificate in Women's Leadership.
Besides my mommy and wife hat, the other hat that stays on is a business owner. I started the Brownie Boutique in the fall of 2020. In the midst of great life change in that year, I wanted something that was completely my own, that I created, and would work nonstop for. For years, that was exclusively my children. As they became more independent, I said "It's Go Time". The Brownie Boutique was birthed out of the laundry room in our house, and the rest is history.
Why Brownie? My maiden name is Brown, and it's also a nickname given to me by my boo thang! The Brownie Boutique is me. Every piece that I create has a part of me. It speaks to who I am. Believer, Military Spouse, Mom, low-key Feminist! I am the She-EO of my dreams
