MUST WATCH TV!!

Hey Guys,  I'm beyond thrilled to share that my next television appearance will be  Soooo this coming Sunday please check out CSI Cyber on CBS. I play Connie Abbott and my character is introduced within the first few minutes of the episode. So if you're late, you'll miss me ;-) Most importantly when I share news about the 'fruits of my labor' I want so desperately for you to understand that this business is about 3% of what it seems. My daily efforts are ALL in consideration of my end game perspective. I want to make God famous! I pray that when people see my success their response is 'I want to know her God.' Furthermore, being on assignment and being obedient doesn't exempt us from daily struggles. As I entered the CBS lot for my fitting for this very episode, I received a text that one of childhood friends was murdered. I have never compartmentalize so much as I did in this one week. There was a perfect storm of soooo much happening, go...

2015 DUBSMASH Compilation Video

Image
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...

Actor Milestone!

Hey guys, I have a special announcement today, watch the below video My Trailer Yes my trailer is better than my apartment lol Getting ready to be a nurse :-) Nursing hours are so long :-p    I was so tempted to edit this video before I uploaded it today but, I decided not to. Since I began acting 5 years ago, I've been nothing but honest about this journey and I always will be. I'm not perfect. My teeth are crooked, my allergy eyes are consistent but my heart is pure, my work ethic is undeniable and my God is able to do exceedingly, abundantly far above what I can ask or even imagine and HE is doing just that. I'm on assignment and in this season I'm learning how imperative it is to be in alignment. Thank you for being apart of my journey and for your continued support and prayers. "The proof is in the sacrifice"         Nikiva Dionne

So, That's what Out of Alignment Feels Like!

   For months I labored over where I went wrong; with a particular incident. I was so confused w/ God for months. I mean night after night, I was like "Jesus what's up? I listened. I was obedient, what in the entire world is this foolery about?" I think I got it.   I stopped making good decisions and I started making decisions that other people wanted me to make. I knew who I was, so I didn't think making a decision someone else needed me to make, would actually be a bad decision. It was and as a result I was out of alignment.  It's the 'please place your oxygen mask on first before you try to assist someone else with their oxygen mask' principle.    I got prideful. I have a tendency to think I'm placed in every one's life to 'save them'. I'm not God. I'm a good person, but I'm not God. I have to remind myself that it's not my job to be someones saving grace. That I'll never be able to fix someones problems. I'm...

5 year 'DREAMaversary'

   I wish I knew what percentage of the population were pursuing their CALL, their dream, their personal legend. It would probably explain why it’s so darn hard! Today I celebrate my 5 th year of being a FULL TIME ACTOR/MODEL! I left my job 5 years ago to pursue my purpose. I’m not going to profess to know all the answers, nor will I say it’s plausible for everyone. But I can speak solely for Nikiva when I say it requires FAITH, UNPARALLELED WORK ETHIC, FAITH, MY MOTHER, FAITH, REDICULOUS WORK ETHIC, FAVOR, PATIENCE, FAITH, UNCOMPROMISING STANDARDS, FILTER, GIVING and Knowing my WHY! FAITH- when you seek God with all your heart you will find Him.   I fast, I prayed, I ignored Him, I became a Christian who wanted to know HIM intimately and I did. Once you KNOW him you must ANSWER His call. I did! There comes a point when HE isn’t an option. UNPARALLELD WORK ETHIC- I’m a person who has had a job since 6 th grade, who received at least two promotions on ever...

THE END

     I love when movies, books, tv shows actually chose to say THE END at the conclusion of the piece. It's as if it forces me to immediately asses what I just ingested. Sometimes when I finish reading I insert my own ‘The End’   lol. I also do it in other areas of life. I think sometimes people wind up hurting others because they don’t know when to say ‘The End’ of an argument, ‘The End’ of these negative emotions, ‘The End’ of this relationship etc. Yesterday I scrolled a friends timeline and said ‘dag was she talking about me? That wasn’t nice. I wouldn’t do that to her. ‘ Later that day I received confirmation from someone else that that OTHER ‘thing’ I thought stunk, really was just as funky if not more funky, than I thought.   And I said ‘dag, I wouldn’t have ever done that to him.’     Now after both of these situations, what I realized first is what came naturally, what I was prepared to say would identify me with the person I was...
