About

Hi, I’m LaKeithea Nicole—a storyteller at heart, a connector by nature, and someone who believes in the beauty of shared moments. My journey blends two passions that have shaped my life: coffee and community.

It all started in college, where coffee became more than a beverage; it became my constant companion. From fueling late-night study sessions to sparking some of my best ideas, coffee has been the thread woven through every chapter of my life. Over the years, it’s grown into something much deeper—a love for the craft, the culture, and the way it brings people together.

Today, that love fuels my career as a Public Relations and Community Engagement expert. My work has always centered around amplifying voices, building meaningful relationships, and creating spaces where stories can shine. Whether it’s crafting a campaign, supporting a brand’s vision, or collaborating with clients to share their narratives, everything I do is guided by connection—and often inspired by a cup of coffee.

But my story doesn’t stop there. I’m also the creator of the Becoming an Ancestor journal series, a reflective journey that encourages readers to think about their legacy and the impact they want to leave behind. My creative passions extend into scriptwriting, where I’m crafting romcoms and heartwarming Christmas stories that celebrate love, joy, and the magic of human connection.

At my core, I believe that storytelling, whether through a well-crafted campaign, a heartfelt journal entry, or a cozy holiday film, has the power to create moments that matter. And coffee? Coffee is the catalyst for so many of those moments. My dream is to build a coffee-centered community where people can gather to share stories, find inspiration, and experience the joy of connection—one cup at a time.

So, let’s share a story, a laugh, or maybe just a great cup of coffee. After all, life’s best moments are meant to be celebrated—together.
