Nicole Collins has participated in or created advocacy work since 2012. The Blooming Phoenix was created in 2019 to promote healing in Black women who have suffered from postpartum depression. This nonprofit is now the home to Nicole's other advocacy works, such as the LOVE Yours Public Speaking Workshop. This organization promotes public welfare by providing Black women and girls access to healing through arts and cultural education and enrichment.
