Who’s Nika?

START HERE: On the Wild West of freelancing, creator journalism—and choosing yourself. Why I’m here for it. www.nikatalbot.io 

In a nutshell, I love a good story.

I believe in the power of writing (and walking!) to connect people and create a more compassionate world.

I’m a journo-author-creator. I help tech + creator brands build authority with long-form art/content.

Using my skills to make an impact and working on things I care about - arts & culture, activism, journalism, and living fully. (RA warrior!)
