🌹Today on my #NewHistoryList I highlight and celebrate Nicole Nikkirob Robinson | @eyesofNikkirob Nicole Marie Robinson (her unofficial middle name). Where does the lovefest start for the Queen of New ORLEANS? Not enough adjectives describe her amazingness but QUEEN of 504 is a start. City historian, cultural preserver, foodie, tour guide, novice shooter, event producer, festival hopper, indulges me in quests for anything LENNY KRAVITZ and a true NOLA BADDIE. Anytime I meet someone from New Orleans, I ask them if they know her… if they say “NO”, I usually say “Then you ain’t really from nawleans”. Her accent is thick as FVCK, her hair is colorful, she skin is flawlessly black and her spirit is what the cosmos are made of. GOD truly made her special. She is my family, her sister is my sister and my sister is hers. Nicole is beyond a rider. Creative and passionate about what she does (I don’t really know what she does), she IS the “CREATOR OF EXPERIENCES” – the ultimate missing link. If you want something done with pure excellence, she is IT. Nicole and I always introduce ourselves to people by saying "this is my best friend IN REAL LIFE". She holds me accountable for not letting my dreams defer. When you are in her circle, she is protective, supportive and critical… all at the same time. She is your biggest cheerleader. Social media has given us a false sense of connectivity. We see each other on timelines, double click a few pics, comment on posts in 280 characters or less and then we feel we have connected. Not NICOLE. If you go a few days without communication, be sure you’ll get the “hey heaux, I’m calling to make sure yo ass ain’t in a ditch”. Nicole truly is LOVE, not because she says it but because she lives it. She truly is the iron that sharpens another. BTW, she is the friend who came up with this series so it’s only right I celebrate her awesomeness. Isn’t she lovely indeed. 🌹TDE, for constantly creating the new narrative of Black History EVERYDAY, I celebrate you, today and always. #Day28 ##BlackHistoryEveryday #CelebrateThemWhileYouCan #NowYourTurn ✊🏾#BlackHistoryxBlackFriends
