Bio: Nicole Williams is an undergraduate student at Princeton University who is passionate about empowering young women to live a life of wholeness, confidence, self-love, and self-compassion. From attempting suicide at age 12 and silently suffering from depression for years, today she has become a dynamic speaker and worship leader. Nicole is unashamed of her past experiences, using her life as a testimony to others. In middle school she would cry herself to sleep, begging God to make her skinny and white so that she could be like the popular girls at school. After living in years of insecurity and shame, Nicole finally said “that’s enough”. After graduating high school, Nicole enrolled in a gap year at Princeton. She spent nine months in Dakar, Senegal, reflecting on her life experiences and envisioning the woman she wanted to become. When she returned to the United States, she launched her online ministry, “Unapologetic Nicole”. This ministry encourages and guides young women on their own journeys of self-discovery and faith.-Westbow Press
