Alicia Nicole is a poet, author, and cultural architect whose work gives language to Black womanhood, healing, and the interior life.
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 memoir 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.
