Completely HONORED to be apart of this beautiful Jeep 'Most Luxurious' Cherokee Commercial. This was a 'full circle' moment. They wanted real designers, real fashion experience and what do you know... My degrees didn't go to waste. The shoot was beautiful, the director was a dream, a bird pooped on me before I walked into the audition, I had FOUR auditions that day and I made it to my call back, late... it was a whole thing and I'm watching this spot so humbled, grateful and blessed. Thanks for sharing this journey with me guys! There is no blueprint to pursuing purpose and I'm learning the more you embrace HIS ability to use all of who you are, the more you will enjoy the journey and how incredibly capable God is, of writing your story that will give HIM all the glory.                                                           ...

Hey Guys,   Check out my latest AT&T Commercial featuring my 'on screen' hubby from my last Ford Commercial. It was a joy to work with Jarrett again and to share the screen and set with so many talented and really nice people.  I have a special affinity for commercials and if the Lord is willing I will shoot them throughout the duration of my career. I hope you guys enjoy the spot and smile when you see it on your tube. Thank you for your continued support. "The Proof is in The Sacrifice"       NIKIVA DIONNE D

Hey guys, I know, I know I don't blog as often as I use to I think Instagram is to blame, lol. But if you're reading this, thank you for being loyal to this blog and I have some new news!! Well 'newish' lol STREAMING NOW on AMAZON PRIME the 2nd and Final season of HAND OF GOD and I'm honored to be in the SERIES FINALE EPISODE! I will never forget booking this job, I cried like a baby. Each year my very thoughtful friends and family begin asking me what my birthday plans are and, since becoming an actor, I always respond by saying 'Hopefully I'll be working'. Listen it only sounds odd if you aren't an actor lol. We don't work everyday but we work everyday. What I mean is, I can literally count the number of days I'm on set each year. So Last year, like years prior, I prayed for work and God said YES when I booked this beautiful role just days before my birthday. I play Patterson a Med School drop out turned crime world undergroun...

Hey Guys,    I wanted to share another actor milestone with you. Taping this show was a full circle moment for me. I'd read this script during a time when I wasn't working, It was so slow for me that I was 'creating' work for myself. I was reading scripts, I was getting on camera daily, I was sowing seeds that only God knew I was sowing and a little over a year later, this was a moment of harvest. I auditioned for the first time for this casting office and for this show, that I'd loved before it ever had a cast attached to it, and I booked and had an opportunity to tell an incredible team of actors how proud and inspired I am by their work. This was humbling, exciting and so perfectly aligned in God.    I pray I inspire someone into their purpose. I pray someone will read my words and say she is on assignment. I pray I never give a false perception of this business.  I pray I have an opportunity to use my platform for a purpose. I pray my work make...

Hey Guys,   It's been awhile since I've shared a great headshot promo with you and this one comes in good timing.  As the year comes to a close, it's a great time to refresh some of your favorite shots, to get a new look that you may be missing and also to give your team some new ammunition.  Those are the exact reasons I decided to get a headshot shoot in and I'm so extremely pleased with my decision to shoot with www.photosbyjamaal.com  First off- Look at this headshot! Secondly- You can't fathom the professionalism that this team offers. I'm NOT easily impressed. I'm very organized and I pride myself on effective communication and efficiently using my time. This photos by Jamaal team, left me speechless.  PROS:  Prior to arrival I received an email and convo about my looks, intentions for the shoot and what to bring and/or expect day of shooting.  Upon arriving the full team was present, had already been briefed on our goals fo...

Hey Guys,    I haven't been great at blogging lately. I've actually been blogging for a christian blog and I didn't realize it would drastically effect my presence on my personal blog. However, it's a ministry and I will remain obedient but I will also become more discipline at posting here!! With my apologies out of the way this entry is to say THANK YOU for your support and to ask for your support as well.    So imagine I was in a film and you were going to the movies to buy a $12.00 ticket so you could support the film. But, I'm actually not in a movie in fact I'm in a really cool webseries that you can watch NOW on Issa Rae's You Tube channel called 'Get Your Life'. If you really love me you've already seen it and if you enjoyed season one, you will be SOOO PUMPED at the opportunity to be apart of the making of SEASON 2 by DONATING!!!

Hey Guys,  One of my 2015 highlights was creating DUBSMASH videos. Seriously, I can't believe I didn't create this app myself. However, I did create a 'dubsmash compilation' video for some of my favorite and most popular dubsmash, lol. Check out the compilation video below and also follow me on IG for other #dubsmash videos!  As this year comes to a close, I pray I've inspired someone into their purpose this year but I also want to remind you guys to DO WHAT YOU LOVE ! Do it daily, do it for free, do it because YOU love it. not because someone else "likes" it or validates it! I began doing dubsmash after having vocal surgery this year. I was on 100% vocal rest with tons of creative energy and no outlet and dubsmash allowed me to feel like 'myself' when I was struggling with vocal health issues. Another thing I realized is that no matter how much FUN I said I was having with this app, there were people who couldn't 'find value...
