Our Fashion Stylist
Nicola Salky-Johnson (Nicky)
Retail Buyer, Stylist & Entrepreneur
At heart, I always have this question, how can I give back and uplift others? As a women’s retail buyer, fashion stylist and business owner, I have enthusiasm and passion for making others feel special and look great.
I now have the privilege to be a part of this charitable makeover group FIERCE. I have the opportunity to dress and style individuals with cancer and lift their spirits by showing, and reminding them, they are beautiful, strong, confident, determined, loving and loved.
My mother was diagnosed with and passed away from brain cancer in 2012. At the time our main focus was spending as much time with her as possible. There was no room to think about “who can we contact to give her that extra hope and inspiration”. Knowing that the FIERCE Group is available for patients in need of some extra special attention during a very difficult time uplifts me. I am blessed to be a part of the FIERCE Group.
