Born under the Aries sun, Nekirah Nicholls made her earthly debut on April 19th, 1995 and was raised in the close-knit neighborhood of New Road. Neki, as she is affectionately called, has emerged as a self-proclaimed minimalist who voluntarily prefers living simply and finding beauty and joy in less.
Nekirah attained her primary education at the indomitable Tucker Clarke Primary School where she distinguished herself as a brilliant student. She then attended the illustrious Washington Archibald High School, and later advanced her studies at the Clarence Fitzroy Bryant College. Most notably, Nekirah holds a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Finance and a Master of Science degree in Financial Risk Management, both from Baruch College in New York. It is against this backdrop that she has developed an unwavering advocacy for the implementation of financial literacy courses as part of the high school curriculum in St. Kitts-Nevis.
Nekirah is well-known throughout the Federation as a dancer and choreographer, who honed her skills at the Children’s Dance Theatre and the CFBC Dance Ensemble. She is presently a member of the Creative Sole Dance Company. Dance provides her with an avenue to creatively tell her life stories through artistic expression.
Nekirah believes in gratitude and constantly practises it as she maneuvers through life. With this in mind, she remains grounded by the simple mantra “Gratitude Is A Must,” a line from “Toast”, the infectious single by Reggae artiste, Koffee.
