Life thru Lyrics
As a writer / producer / actor, I've always had a burning desire to share great stories with the world. Over the past few years, I finally realized perhaps the most important stories I could ever share just happened to be my own.
" We all have a song inside of us &
our stories are the lyrics of our lives."
- Nicole Danielle
My recent project, the Life thru Lyrics book series is perhaps the most important creative work I've ever done. And in part one: Diamonds Beneath the Darkness, I openly share decades worth of experiences that contributed to what ultimately became the darkest time in my life—when I wasn't quite sure if I'd ever make it back to the bright side. In order to break free from the storm & reclaim my own light, I had to finally speak my truths—and the only reason I have had the courage to do so is because of my son.

Writing part one has been one of the most emotionally challenging things I have ever done; to relive these stories over and over has not been easy—but I did it because I needed others to know they've never been alone in their experiences in life. Someone has always been there; my voice just wasn't strong enough to speak up and tell you that until now.
I promise, you haven't seen anything quite like my self-discovery memoir series, Life thru Lyrics. To find out more, click this link & join me on "the journey to become.

"Diamonds Beneath the Darkness: Life Thru Lyrics... The Journey To Become is a work of non-fiction in the memoir, slice-of-life, and empowering writing subgenres. It is bestsuited to mature adult readers owing to the presence of explicit language and raw, sensitive issues throughout.
Penned by author Nicole Danielle about her incredible life experiences, this honest and emotive narrative explores a profound journey through life's highs and lows and the harsh lessons we learn along the way. A former beauty queen ensnared by crime, a lover touched by sin, and a dreamer stifled by the world, Nicole battles against the noise that insists she is not enough. Bullied, abused, abandoned, and betrayed, she breaks her silence, spurred on by her love for her son. This poignant voyage invites readers to feel the reality of being human and the strength it takes to rise from darkness.
Author Nicole Danielle has crafted a memoir that hits you where it hurts right from the start and takes readers on an emotionally charged experience. The storytelling style is raw and unfiltered, offering an intimate look into the complexities of her life, yet there’s always a sense of confidence that lets you know that, no matter how dark it gets, the author is going to make it. This sense of powerful self-belief infused into the narrative's authenticity makes it a compelling read, and Nicole's resilience shines through on every page.
The book explores the hidden strength of the human spirit when motivated by the power of familial love, and it is sure to be a source of inspiration for those navigating their own journeys of self-discovery. Nicole's ability to translate her experiences into relatable and powerful stories is commendable, making this memoir a captivating and impactful exploration of the human experience, and one in which dignity and empowerment ring true.
Overall, Diamonds Beneath the Darkness is a highly recommended memoir that resonates with triumph, tragedy, and the
undying spirit of self-discovery."
A MOMMA ON A MISSION
EVERY VOICE MATTERS.
As the Momma of two beautiful young boys who are on the autism spectrum, I'm not just an advocate but also a champion for authentic voices. As someone who has spent most of her life being told I didn't have a voice or what I had to say didn't matter, life sure had a way of awakening my eyes
to a different narrative when I was blessed with my first miracle, my oldest son, Crosby, who
at 8 years old, is still identified as being "nonverbal." Crosby has helped me see that there is a
greater purpose for all of this—and that everything is connected; I just had to quiet the noise of the outside world in order to understand.
My Why for the creative work I'm doing in this season of my life is so my children know
they have a momma who will not just fight for them, nor herself, but for everyone out there
who needs the reminder that every voice, no matter how big or small, matters. I need
Crosby & Wylder to know that no matter what the world tries to make them believe...
they matter, their voices matter, and they are so much more than the limitations others
want to put on them simply because they check the ASD box—or because people assume
they "can't," just because those same individuals have never had their eyes opened to a new
way of navigating the lives of individuals on the spectrum.
For me, it's about reconnecting with one another through our human experiences—and the
knowing that while not one person's journey in this life is the same, our stories are more
connected than we know.
When you join us on the Life thru Lyrics journey, you will discover for yourself just how
connected it all really is. But for now, I'll leave you with this little video featuring myself & Crosby.
Thank You for being here.
With love & gratitude...
Nicole
