About Nicole Walters

The daughter of Ghanaian immigrants, Nicole Walters became a self-made multi-millionaire despite the odds that were set against her. In her debut memoir, she artfully tells her story of struggle, strength and triumph as she worked toward the “American dream” on her own terms.

Raised in a home where food was unstable and anger was the norm, Nicole learned early that she needed to take charge of her own security. She got into an elite private school by talking to a stranger in her dad’s cab, she strategized her way onto Wheel of Fortune to help cover college and her family’s medical bills, she adopted three girls after meeting their mother panhandling, and she quit her job to launch her own business.

After reaching the upper echelon of success with a thriving business, a family and even a reality TV show, a series of health scares revealed that Nicole had neglected herself while giving to everyone else. This led to a reckoning in her business and marriage that eventually taught Nicole her greatest lesson to date: she is, and always has been, enough. Nothing is missing.
