MEET NIKKI

Nikki Abban is a writer, filmmaker, and educator who approaches art like a philosopher- led by questions and a desire to find truth.

She is especially drawn to stories centering Africa, the black diaspora, spirituality, nature, physical spaces, mysticism, Afrofuturism, music, artist development, cultural icons and phenomenon, and the self.  

In her down time, you’ll find Nikki watching YouTube videos about off-the-grid living, roaming through art museums, writing about movies, or planning her next trip abroad.
