Hostess with the Mostess!
Back in November, I had the pleasure of Hosting an episode of the show Bodegas, Spots, & Restaurants (BSR). BSR is a food reality show where a host travels to varying Black & Brown restaurants/eateries to showcase their food, their owners, their culture/community and so much more! Especially in the wake of Covid-19, supporting small businesses (when you can afford to) is so important. Season 2 is offically here!!! I had the pleasure of visiting Jerkin' Chicken in Jersey City, NJ and it was absolutely amazing! My tastebuds and tummy were very satisfied (lol). Click the link below to check it out.

Cape May Stage in partnership with Yendor Theatre Company present a virtual reading of Lines in the Dust by Nikkole Salter. The cast features Tasha R. Williams as Dr. Beverly Long, Parker Smith as Michael DiMaggio, and Nicolette Lynch (aka me lol) as Denitra Morgan.
Lines in the Dust tells the story of the lengths a mother will go through to ensure a better future for her daughter and explores the issue of separate and unequal schooling. Denitra, a mother and Newark resident, seeks to send her daughter to a better school in Millburn which seems like a risk worth taking, but may end up requiring a bigger sacrifice than she could have imagined. "Lines in the Dust" explores the injustices of a public school system where the quality of your child's education can depend solely on your street address. Originally commissioned by Luna Stage to commemorate the 60th anniversary of Brown vs Board of Education, the play reveals the persistent racial inequities defining public education in 21st century America. |

I've got a Manager now...who dis?! (LOL)
Y'all, I've been riding solo for my entire career to date and I'm SUPER DUPER proud of all that I've been able to achieve on my own, but even more proud to begin the process of building a team that truly believes in me! I've never had an agent before, and freelanced with one manager in the past, but today I am SIGNED with the lovely Maryann Raposo and the "Dream Team" over at Dream Maker Talent Management. We have a plan and we are ready to attack. I've already had some great television auditions, and I feel the tide getting ready to shift. Even greater opportunities are on the horizon for me...and you better believe that I'm ready! :-)

New Year, New Series!
New Year, New Series!
This year, I'm excited to announce that I'll be sharing more of my writing. To facilitate this, I've created my own mini-series titled "Narratives By Nicolette." Each week I will release an episode featuring a monologue, scene, or poem that I've written. It's a way to push past fear and share more of myself and my work with the public! I spend a lot of time bringing other people's characters and visions to life (which I love doing), but I'm also elated about channeling that same focus and energy into my own work! :-)
New episodes on my IG, FB, & Twitter uploaded every Sunday.
You can also catch them right here on my website; just click the "Narratives By Nicolette" tab!

Catch Me On Amazon Prime!!!!
You can now rent or buy the award-winning, faith-based film 'In Character' on Amazon Prime video.
Due to backlash from his unpopular position on a controversial subject, Filmmaker, Chris Mann, loses all funding, and is at risk of losing his entire savings and his dream, 3 days before beginning production on his first feature film, "In Character." By the incredible hustle of his producer, Stanley Little, he gets another chance to gain it all back, under 'certain conditions'. Will he compromise??
In the film, I play Candice who is an outspoken, unapologetically, bold production assistant.

Did you know that I'm also a Teaching Artist?! :-)

I spent the entire month teaching at a summer theater camp provided by Luna Stage Theatre Company in West Orange, NJ! I worked with an absolutely stellar group of elementary school students & had a blast teaching them the principles of theatre/performance while focusing on Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, & Communication.
At the conclusion of camp, the students devised original one-minute plays and presented them to their family and friends. The arts are so transformative and truly changed my life, therefore, using my work as a Teaching Artist to pay it forward & inspire our next generation of artists is always a blessing! |

2018 is here and I have affectionately coined it "The Year of the Savage!" Which means it's time to begin (or continue to) unapologetically go after your heart's desires and work hard towards achieving your goals! Push out doubt and/or fear, get to work, & get it done! You got this; I believe in you! To that end, I spent the first week of 2018 on set shooting an ad for a brand new product that's going to be an amazing advancement in medical technology! I signed that Non-Disclosure Agreement #shhh (lol) so I can't say much else at the moment, but stay tuned for more information later this year! P.S. This was my second time being cast as a doctor within the past 2 months...future career after acting? ;-) |

Meet the Five Stereotypes...

The 2nd of a two-part teaser for my film, Five Stereotypes Walk Into A Room, is here!
After receiving diversity complaints for a show titled "White Guys Doing Stuff," an all-white writers staff is assigned to create diverse characters to avoid further criticism. However, the mostly out-of-touch group resorts to tired tropes — and their own creations disagree with their assigned characteristics, resulting in a created vs. the creators debacle. Check out this teaser and stay tuned for the film's official release date. Five Stereotypes Walk Into A Room is written & directed by Meghan McDonald. To view the 1st part of the teaser visit: https://vimeo.com/245217255 |

Surely Goodness & Mercy by Chisa Hutchinson
