Nicole Cleveland is the oldest of two children. Raised by a teenage single mother, she was determined not to let her circumstances dictate who she would be and how far she would go. Statistics said one thing but she proved them wrong. Molestation, dysfunction, teenage pregnancy, non stability – these were some of the things that she had to face head on. But she took the bull by the horns and ran. She ran like Forest. She kept on running until she found a place of solace.

In 1995 she found the Lord. She always knew there was a void in her life. But never could fill it. Men, clubs, alcohol, drugs… none of those things filled that void until she allowed the Lord to take residence in her heart.

She came from the streets into the church, so the church and church “folk” was an adjustment that took some time to get used to.

She can remember thinking, “I can get this type of treatment in the world, church people are not supposed to act like this.” But little did she know that people were people, in the church and outside of the church.

Her favorite saying is, “What the enemy meant for bad, God will turn around and mean for your good.” Her life is a living testimony. .

She resides in Norfolk, Virginia with her husband and three children (ages 17, 9 & 3).
By profession she is a Fundraiser & Development Manager working for her local Public Broadcasting station. She is also working on two novels.

In 2006 she founded Breathe Again Magazine, an online magazine designed to encourage, uplift and inspire women. Breathe Again Magazine posts real life testimonies of women that have endured, overcome and beat adversity. The bible states that we are overcome by the power of our testimony, but she has found that people are not telling their “real” testimony to help encourage others so she decided to do it herself.

People are on the verge of giving up all over this world. They are waiting for someone to stand up and say, “I have been where you are … but this is how I made it.”

Thus came, Breathe Again Magazine. In 2007 Breathe Again Magazine was the winner of the “Best Spiritual Testimony Website” by The Black Web Awards.

In 2007 Nicole was a contributing author to a book entitled “Refined By the Fire: Defining Moments of Phenomenal Women” by GMA Publishing.

Nicole is a licensed Minister and also hosts a television pubic affairs program on TBN.

Wife, Mother, Minister, Business Owner, Manager, Motivator, Speaker, Author, Friend, Daughter, Philanthropist, Actress, Publisher, Mentor and Volunteer are a few hats she wears.

She is affiliated with many boards and advisory groups in her community. One affiliation means more to her than any other, and that is her affiliation with God. She is the daughter of the most high God and wants people to know that she is his favorite. (We should all believe that we are his favorite child )
