Nicole Beier
Leadership Team Member Through social media, Nicole advocates to see a cultural shift for single mom families — by connecting them with events, resources, and each other to beat the negative statistics single mom families face. She resides in Kansas City with her two children: Jahno, age 6, and Sultana, age 4. As a family, they love exploring their city, and if you ever catch her in a quiet moment, she’s probably posting, tweeting, liking, loving, or messaging another mom on social media.
