Nickie is working on doing anti-racist and feminist work, pursuing a doctorate in Urban Education Studies at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis. She is currently involved in grassroots activist work focused on attaining equitable access to locally elected and governed, justly funded public schools. She is also involved in policy development with state and local education agencies focused on matters related to equity, particularly for groups of students who have been historically marginalized by the education system. Nickie has three children, and hopes that in their future girls will stop being shamed and punished by sexist school dress codes, and high quality, affordable health care and paid family leave will be available and accessible to all working caregivers.
