About Nicole Edwards

Nicole Edwards is an East St. Louis, Illinois made, and southern raised, new literary ​creator. She is a Midwest native; but has had the privilege of gaining life ​experiences in Alabama, Missouri and Washington, DC. She initially found her ​professional roots in Social Work, where she received a Bachelors and Masters ​degree from the University of Alabama, but found interest in other areas that led ​her to receive a Criminology and Criminal Justice, Masters of Science. As her ​career grew, she placed gentle emphasis on the birthing experience through her ​desire to become a birth support worker. As she worked with women from ​marginalized communities, she began to notice a gap in the birthing experience. ​Her desire grew to decrease the gap of disadvantage on the birthing experience ​which led to learning how to provide paralleled support of the mind and body in a ​holistic therapeutic approach by becoming certified in Somatic Therapy.

Her understanding the importance of a healthy support, led her to joining Sigma ​Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. The support of her sorority, and a sense of community, ​increased her involvement in the progression of women within black culture.

Aiming to promote mental health in women of color, and fill the diversity gap found ​in various industries, Tierra created Repositioned Crown. A journal intended to ​give women a chance to express their thoughts and feelings in a safe space, ​instead of experiencing feelings alone.

I like to think i still have a story worth sharing. I created this ​journal during a time in my life that i needed somebody. i was looking ​for something i couldn’t give myself. i created this journal when i ​forgot who i was. this journal gave me a safe space of creativity, ​refocus, reinvention and fault. i was able to be honest in where i ​was and uncertain of where i wanted to be. i created this journal in ​the image of black women. i wanted us to be seen differently. i want ​us to Learn that breaking generational curses isn’t always the ​degree or tax bracket. we are intelligent, we are strong, but not as ​a means of exhaustion. we are learning that how we define ourselves ​can change into any image we feel safe being represented as. black ​women are beautiful and we’re tired of being told to convince the ​world of something it already knows. we don’t have to prove our ​worth, when society puts a price tag on it everyday.
