Outside of her role in newsroom, Nicole is the founding member and spokesperson for the Rogers Indigenous Peoples’ Diversity Network. She encourages conversations and provides a safe space for people to questions and understand Indigenous culture, history and the uniqueness of our communities.
When I think back, I’ve worked in six or seven major television stations and one radio station throughout the start of my career. It’s not just one story it’s a culmination of a few, I remember I moved to the States for a while, I was in California in a newsroom and there were no Native Americans, they didn’t know what Indigenous meant...but they did know that I was something unique so they tokenized the hell out of me.
