<p><em>Note: This episode was recorded in September of 2024.</em></p> <p>Nicole deRoux performed as The Bullet for five years (that's over 50 cities and 1,500 performances) before recently shifting gears and becoming a swing on the Philip Tour.</p> <p>This week, Nicole talks about her long-term activism and using her platform to speak out and do good work. Additionally, she talks about her incredible mother, who *also* balances the cerebral with the creative: she is a radiologist *and* an artist.</p> <p>Plus, Nicole explains why everyone needs to lose their mind during the Yorktown dance break and dives into her experience competing for Miss New Jersey including why she did it, what she learned, and why she's never doing it again.</p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@iamalexnicholson/video/7412687893547732254"> Alex Nicholson's Viral "Black Jobs" Video on TikTok</a></strong></p> <p>///</p> <div class="html-div xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd" tabindex="-1"> <div class="html-div xdj266r x11i5rnm x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd x1e56ztr"> <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@nicolederoux?fbclid=IwY2xjawF_qgZleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHTxZuqxXFJEtk949XfSTOuZu8lKUb4OpT6jV10r8Nm1hJcJ7K2U41z-Ivg_aem_R-Pn4FFlcPAmd_4IpK5boQ"> <strong><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs xlh3980 xvmahel x1n0sxbx x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u"> Nicole on TikTok</span></strong></a></div> <div> </div> </div> <div class="html-div xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd" tabindex="-1"> <div class="html-div xdj266r x11i5rnm x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd x1e56ztr"> <strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/nicolederoux/?hl=en"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs xlh3980 xvmahel x1n0sxbx x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u"> Nicole on Instagram</span></a></strong></div> <div> </div> </div> <div class="html-div xdj266r x11i5rnm xat24cr x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd" tabindex="-1"> <div class="html-div xdj266r x11i5rnm x1mh8g0r xexx8yu x4uap5 x18d9i69 xkhd6sd x1e56ztr"> <strong><a href="https://www.nicolederoux.com/"><span class="x193iq5w xeuugli x13faqbe x1vvkbs xlh3980 xvmahel x1n0sxbx x6prxxf xvq8zen xo1l8bm xzsf02u"> Nicole's Website</span></a></strong></div> </div> <p>///</p> <p><a href="https://gillianwithag.com/"><strong>Gillian's Website</strong></a></p> <p><strong><a href="https://twitter.com/TheHamilcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Hamilcast on Twitter</a></strong></p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/thehamilcast/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Hamilcast on Instagram</a></strong></p> <p><strong><a href="https://www.patreon.com/TheHamilcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Join the Patreon Peeps</a></strong></p>
