Today we’d like to introduce you to Nikkie Pryce.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Nikkie. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
In 2016, I was working a successful job, lived where I wanted to live and felt like I had the life of my dreams. On the outside, it seemed I had it all together, however, on the inside, I felt depressed and worthless. My self-esteem wavered and I didn’t know my true identity. I knew that life had more to offer and I truly wanted to find out my purpose and who I was. One morning at about 6 a.m., I woke up and remembered hearing God’s voice say “write down I AM affirmations.”
Although I didn’t understand, I started to write the affirmations down and immediately I felt inspired and encouraged. I felt like my life had meaning and I was so grateful and excited for what I had discovered. I posted my newfound affirmations on social media and people from all over the world said I inspired them to write affirmations. They started writing affirmations and posting them at their homes, offices, and workspaces. I knew at this moment that this strategy was needed to encourage others through the power of their words and positive thinking. Due to the feedback we’ve received, we launched I AM Community, a women’s empowerment organization that increases self-love, self-awareness and I AM affirmations. Our community has serviced women globally. We service women through courses, community, and mentoring. My breakthrough has helped women become their best selves and continues to encourage women to love themselves even more through positive self- talk and creating a more abundant lifestyle.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
My journey has been the least bit smooth, yet, it has taught me so many wonderful lessons that I take with me along my journey. I have experienced obstacles, that I don’t even understand how I got through. I know it’s Gods grace on my life because this couldn’t be done in my own might. In 2016, my mother passed away from cancer. It was the most challenging time for myself and my family. As an entrepreneur, we still are expected to show up even when we go through our own personal experiences. Even in the midst of that situation, time does help you become stronger and more resilient. Also, to mention, two years later, my aunt who stepped up for me as a Mother figure when my Mom passed, suddenly passed as well. Now, this was unexpected and it truly broke my heart to walk through these experiences. However, we must know that God doesn’t make mistakes and in due time we will get stronger. What has kept me confident is knowing that in life we will go through tough stuff, however, keep in mind that it does get better and having faith will take you places you’ve never imagined. My advice to young women is no one talks about the process, they only share the finished product. So, on the outside looking in, entrepreneurship looks easy and seems like it takes minimal work to obtain success. However, while you’re growing as an entrepreneur you will see some dark days. You’ll feel like following your purpose doesn’t make sense sometimes. The people closest to you may not support you. However, I do want to encourage you that the light at the end of the tunnel that you’re looking for is already on the inside of you. You carry every good thing inside of you that you will need to create the best life possible. Sometimes, you have to take a step back to be catapulted forward. So, take a moment if you need to and reassess what you want from life. Also, get around supportive friends and a positive community who can pray, love and uplift you. Don’t even try to do life alone. My mother used to always say “People need People.” We all need each other, and I believe you can make it through if you really never give up on yourself or our dreams. Persistence and resilience will take you a long way!
What should we know about I AM Community? What do you do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
I am a women’s empowerment speaker & coach, workshop facilitator and author. My specialty is speaking at events, conferences, workshops snd helping women with practical steps to increase their self-love and self-confidence. I am proud to know that my community consists of amazing and supportive women globally who encourage, uplift and share positive affirmations, with each other. It’s a blessing to be amongst so many caring and empowered women.
Who do you look up to? How have they inspired you?
I would say my Auntie Claudette (RIHeaven) Her faith was such a driving force for me. She taught me how to love myself and others. Even when we have our human moments, she reminded me to love how Christ loves. I’ve never met a woman so graceful and loving. I hope that my faith could be even half of hers. I am so inspired to grow and love the way she did on this Earth. She’s irreplaceable but I wish the entire world could’ve gotten a chance to meet her.
