Nicole Vick
Nicole Vick has spent the last fifteen years providing tools and strategies to stakeholders, community-based organizations, students, and residents to improve health and prevent disease in some of Los Angeles County’s most underserved communities. In Pushing Through she shares both the heartbreaking pain and the extraordinary triumphs that led her to advocacy and social justice work. As time passed, the duality in her world grew larger and much more complex, manifesting very deep and painful emotional experiences. Nicole channeled those painful moments of her life into prime opportunities for personal growth. She learned to make sense of the two worlds she existed in and used that skill to connect, build, and create community, comradery, and a sense of purpose.
