Nicole has provided brand and communications strategy to a range of non-profits, brands, and creatives, including Third Wave, Sony Music, Abortion Access Front, Planned Parenthood, and author Rebecca Walker. Nicole has forged a 20+ year career as a communications expert, merging her love for art and culture with advocacy. She is the CEO & Founder of Moore Projects, where she uses her skills as a writer and storyteller to make brands and campaigns more trustworthy, engaging, and memorable, especially to women and communities of color.

Best known for her blogging, Nicole created theHotness in 2000– a newsletter/ blog that was one part personal diary, one part feminist cultural criticism, and one part celebrity interviews. Within its first year, theHotness featured exclusives with some of music and film’s most anticipated artists, including Jill Scott and Cree Summer, and in turn, created a name for herself– theHotnessGrrrl.

Her witty, tell-it-like-it-is style of writing attracted an eager audience, mostly college-educated women, looking for writing that didn’t play it safe. With over 20K followers on Facebook, over five thousand subscribers to her newsletter, and a Who’s Who of influential people following her tweets including Ava Duvernay, Lebron James, Kerry Washington, and former President Barack Obama, Nicole blogged off and on for almost 20 years making (pop) culture, representation and feminism not only interesting, but also indispensable for an entire generation of readers, thinkers, artists, and lovers of culture who felt seen and affirmed in her bold and daring commentary.
