Nicole Acosta of The Hoops Project

This week, we talk to Nicole Acosta, artist, photographer, writer, marketing maven, mother, DJ and creator of The Hoops Project, coming soon to The Milwaukee Chamber Theater and the Milwaukee Artist Resource Network. Listen as we talk full circle about Nicole’s life and how she was able to turn some harrowing experiences into a fierce and fearless determination to live into her dreams. This woman takes YOLO seriously because she’s been to the edge. And she’s back, so look out Milwaukee! 

Listen as we talk about … 

• How the traditional pathway wasn’t going to work for Nicole and how she found (and claimed) her own voice
• How finding her people in the city inspired and encouraged her creative calling as a Latina artist
• How a brush with death transformed her outlook on her life and her work (Hint: YOLO is REAL!) 
• How intuition and dreaming go hand in hand
