We had the good fortune of connecting with Mimi Nichole and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Mimi, what habits do you feel play an important role in your life?
Habits can make or break you, I think at some point we have all dealt with some not so good habits & that’s okay. It gives us a chance to self analyze, reflect and grow from those behaviors. Although bad habits can be hard to break you can start with the power of positive thinking. This is a habit that I consciously implemented into my life after experiencing some major lows, I knew that positive thinking and belief in myself no matter the circumstances is what would help me move closer towards success. Continuous positive thought, belief and faith is what helped me to succeed and continue to succeed on a daily basis !

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I am an embodiment of my art, the melodies that flow through me holds the past, present & the future. My life’s experiences, & learnings of others, help to bring about inspiration & at times I receive divine messages to share with the world. I am most proud of coming this far in my career and not letting life’s circumstances get in my way. I am most excited to share God’s gifts with the world through song, uplifting words, and through positive action! Getting to this place in my career was no cake walk! Its taken dedication, sacrifice & the willingness to learn new skills.

I have an album out by the name of “Circles” By: Mimi Nichole out on all platforms! Putting that project out independently and doing all the footwork (proper paperwork) was not an easy task. When challenges arose I was blessed to be able to consult with individuals who cared and were willing to help. Overcoming obstacles is a matter of continuing in your journey and asking for help when needed and stepping up for yourself, because you deserve it! I’ve learned to speak up more, also to write down your thoughts and dreams. Get them out of your head and onto paper so that you can see it, plan out your moves so that your God given manifestation may come to fruition in a smoother way. I’ve found the more I keep things in my head the less I get done, so definitely get yourself a journal and even a sketch pad! You are the master of your destiny!

HEY PEOPLE OF THE WORLD!!!! I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I AM ROOTING FOR YOU, I AM ALWAYS SENDING OUT PEACE, LOVE AND POSITIVE ENERGY!!!! I WANT YOU TO BE THE BEST FORM OF YOU; NO MATTER WHAT SPACE YOU ARE IN!!!! THERE WAS A TIME WHERE I LIVED IN WHAT TO ME WAS MY PERSONAL HELL BUT GOD!!!! After making it to a brighter side I was given this to share with the World, if you are led to, Read this Affirmation within or allowed & share with a family member or friend

I’ve been at this singing thing since the age of 5 so you can only imagine how many individuals God has blessed me to encounter. Each moment I share on stage, off stage, in the studio, traveling, working with kids, figuring out life, I’m always thinking of & praying for you . We were meant to be in this thing together and I’m just appreciative of the love and support that you show!!!!
