.212 Nikki Innocent
Nikki is a true force for good in this world. It’s impressive how so much positive energy and intelligence can be piled into one human being, and yet, Nikki proves it’s possible. We met in Boston at a networking-type event and I was instantly overcome by how laser-focused she was on whoever she was speaking with. Her attention is clearly built on genuine curiosity and compassion.
Nikki’s ability to be so kind to those around her seems so effortless, and as I continue to get to know her better, I’m getting the feeling that it’s just in her bones to be empathetic and real. She listens deeply and she means what she says. Her diligence and determination with her work and her projects have been inspiring to me since the moment we met, and it’s a true pleasure to be a witness as she continues on her journey. One last thing that is truly hard to describe is Nikki’s presence. It’s a bit like magic in that she draws you in and leaves you wanting more time and more laughter with her. I’m so grateful we crossed paths and that we’ve been able to stay in touch.
Nikki, thank you for being such a strong and patient woman and for being inspiring to me and so many others. Thank you for having a smile that truly can change the vibe in a room, and thank you for being so kind to me. Thank you for being honest and willing to dig deep in conversations. Thank you, Nikki, for being all that you are.
