That is until her best friend and long-time crush, Malachai Brown discovers her plan, and convinces her to give him a week. He's determined to find out what it'll take for her to stay and so she agrees to delay the audition and spend spring break with him.
Following their friendship long game of truth or dare, Nikki starts to confront her fears and be open about her feelings for her family and for Mal.

With a passion for Black social psychology, she moved out of the countryside to attend the University of Texas in Austin, where she still resides.
