You may have seen Nikeya on CBS 2 Chicago's "Someone You Should Know" news segment with acclaimed Chicago journalist Harry Porterfield which aired on May 7, 2010. She also appeared in National Geographic's "Taboo" television show with the contestants of the 2009 Miss Plus America Pageant to dispel common myths about the Plus Size Woman and showcase beauty in all shapes and sizes! A budding actress, Nikeya has also starred in four inspirational stage plays over the past few years, and released a hit single "Who Are They Anyway?" ! This AWESOME, catchy tune is an anthem for Plus Size Women, encouraging them to love themselves and be proud of who God has created them to be! The single is available for download/purchase at www.cdbaby/cd/nikeyayoung , www.amazon.com , & iTunes !
Nikeya is seeking opportunities in print, fit modeling, commercial, and runway. While Nikeya is primarily seeking paid assignments, exceptions may be made depending on various circumstances.
