Nicky, I’m so, so thankful that I knew you. I can’t possibly put into words the impact you had on my life without writing an entire essay on it, but you literally changed my brain chemistry during one of the darkest times of my life. I’ll never forget the day I was at work, angry, so full of rage. I posted a song that I called, “my anthem” at the time and it was angry & heavy. You responded and sent me the song, “Black as Night,” by Nahko And Medicine For The People and told me that this was YOUR current anthem during the hard times and asked me to give it a listen. I listened to it while typing away at my crummy desk job and before my eyes, my mindset began shifting. This song…it changed my perspective. I don’t know if I ever told you how profoundly that moment changed me. Nicky, you were and ARE an amazing person that I am so glad I got to hang out with in college. I have so much respect for you and appreciate you more that you’ll ever know. I hope wherever you are, you’re relaxing, happy, full of sunshine as you always were when I knew you. Much love, my friend. Forever.

A few people in my community knew her but, unfortunately, I never had the privilege. From what I’ve heard, she was a kind person who drove her imagination to creative places. My condolences to the folks in her circle and the pain this loss brings. Hannah Warner
