nic's girlfriend letter

doing it big in 2025 with a lil yap

I hope you didn’t think In My Girlfriends Heels was over, lol! I’ve missed you. How are you? Don’t be shy—let me know! Good morning!!!! Right now, This Is by Ella Mai is on repeat (and Apple really had the nerve to tell me I’ve played it 87 times—Ella girl, you did that). Since we last caught up, I turned 34, my baby hit 15, we had our first girlfriend walk, I dropped another 22 pounds, and I’ve been living my best life. Like, I saw Nicki Minaj in Miami with my kids, dropped the hottest boot (no, seriously), celebrated my bestie’s birthday, hit up NBA games, skate nights, karaoke, and went to concerts nonstop—Usher, Maxwell, Jazmine Sullivan, Fred Hammond, and so many more. I’ve been working my ass off on 2025 releases + getting our sale orders out. Honestly, I’m just so grateful for 2024. I’ll never stop saying it—God is good, and so am I.

During a yap session with my girlfriend, she told me she stopped entertaining men who didn’t have the qualities she wanted in a partner—and that’s when she met her husband. Now, I’m pretty stubborn and not “easily” influenced, but after replaying that in my head a few times, I thought, damn, that’s not a bad mindset to add to my daily life. Since then I’ve stopped entertaining things that don’t align with where I’m at or where I want to be. And somehow, someway, it’s been helping me build my confidence and making discipline feel easier.

Take that however you want, but here’s the thing: You can’t keep saying you want to grow your savings while moving money out of your savings every weekend for happy hour. You can’t claim you want a healthy relationship but keep calling up Mr. Toxic after the club (cough cough mama was guilty). And you definitely can’t sit here talking about wanting to grow your business but not promoting it. Actions have to match up with the goals, girlfriend.

I know people love to say, "Don’t show your vision boards, work in silence, blah blah blah," but honestly? What’s for me is for me. Mother F*ckas can’t stop this show. I’ll be 100000% honest —I am fully committed to growing Nicolette Nichelle. Over the last five years, I’ve had all kinds of lessons and growing pains. And I’m ready to turn it up & want to bring you on this journey with me. Weekly check ins with our usual yap while you get front row seats of me turning Nicolette Nichelle into a multi million dollar business.

In 2025, my #1 goal is to get the logistics for Nicolette Nichelle together. I want our girlfriends’ entire experience to be lovely, and in full transparency, shipping has been the one thing that takes 20 points off. Due to a lack of resources, we sometimes have to place our designs on preorder. So, mama’s been seeking help to make sure what’s in our control stays that way.

I’ll continue to create accessories that make my girlfriends feel like the baddest in the room—main character energy girlfriend. I love high-end luxury with a hefty price tag, but it doesn’t matter if you make 30K, 500K, or millions a year—you can still shop with Nicolette Nichelle. Oh, and speaking of which—new packaging is coming soon + bomb-ass shoots are on the way!

Another thing—more intimate community events! I had my first girlfriend walk here in Houston, and I’m looking forward to hosting them monthly. Plus, I’ve been cooking up some ideas to bring my vision to life for future events, including collaborating with other fashion brands. I’m starting off with one from my best girlfriend, Areyelle of Revynge. I’d also love to drop my own nail polish line this year so I will :)

Shoutout to me for never paying for a magazine feature! Let’s do it again in 2025. :) While I don’t desire to be “famous,” I do want to grow my personal brand for the girls. I’m a 16-and-pregnant high school dropout who’s doing it big, even though my ex-boyfriend said I wouldn’t be sh*t. Cheers to speaking engagements and more of me showing you all how I’m building this brand, brick by brick via Youtube and IG.

Say it with me: I’m a bad ass woman and I can do + be the person God told me I am. Call an old friend today! Put a smile on that cute face. See you next year! Discipline will make sure I’m in your inbox weekly starting 1/1/25! I love you and there’s not a thing you can do about it :)
