He continued to serve as site coordinator, as secretary of the Men of Color Council, and as a resident advisor. In December of 2019, Nicolas co-founded and became Vice President of the Spring Hill College Democrats.
In the Spring of 2020, he received a call to work on his very first national political campaign–the Mike Bloomberg for President Campaign. He accepted and served as a Field Organizer covering Mobile County. He met, heard, listened attentively to the concerns of various community groups and leaders throughout Mobile. He got to know the community in a way previously not known. Nicolas would work with the campaign until March of 2020.
Simultaneously, Nicolas was rehired as a resident advisor and was chosen to become a George Washington Mount Vernon Fellow. However, due to the emerge of COVID-19, Nicolas’ sophomore year was cut short, and he was deprived of the opportunity to participate.

Nicolas took a hiatus from community involvement and campus activities until returning to campus in Fall of 2020 to embark upon his junior year of college. He again made the Dean’s list with a 3.8 GPA for the semester.

My goodness this young man is definitely on his way up. What an amazingly impressive CV he holds already. Praise God we have the NAACP. Bless his heart for working to help put more attention on gun reform and other extremely important issues to help us to one day have equality for all our citizens.
It is almost hard to believe a man this young has accomplished so much. Perhaps someday he will be our President.
You must be so proud of him. Thank you Tangie for sharing the words of accomplishment. Perhaps this will help motivate a young teenager that reads this to reach high and with God on your side there is nothing that can’t be done. Hope you are feeling ok my friend and that your Sabbath is full of joy. Hugs and love ❤️ Joni

I agree, with all the negatively being promoted, its very easy for one’s positive lifestyle to not be spotlighted or overlooked.
Thanks for sharing. It is so refreshing to read our young men are “succeeding” in good endeavors. I pray Father God’s continued favor and wisdom in your cousin’s life. I know his parents are very proud of him.😇
