Short bio
Alicia Nicole — writing as Author Alicia Nicole — is a poet, author, and cultural architect. She is the author of Where Do Black Girls Go To Cry?, the Author’s Cut novel — drawn from lived experience — about parking lots, psychiatric wards, and what comes after surviving, and the bedtime series Good Night, I Love You. See You in the Morning., written for children and the adults who tuck them in. Her current collection, Program Override | Noble Victory, pairs poetry with historical translation; its centerpiece essay, The Names They Gave Us Were Never the Whole Truth, traces her own family line through six verified generations — from a woman born enslaved around 1842 to a 1714 colonial land patent — using the Freedmen’s Bureau contract, land patents, and census records her twenty-plus years of research uncovered. A student of African American Studies and a lifelong family archivist, Alicia writes for every reader who was told her silence was her strength.
