The 60-minute "Confessions," which is directed by Chuck Burks is described by Nicky as "a funny, poignant look at the period she spent as a sex worker upon arriving in New York in 2002." The show - which contains adult themes, language and content - received great reviews at its 2016 premiere in Harlem and has been performed in front of, sold out houses at The Producers Club, Broadway Comedy Club and National Black Theatre in Manhattan. Two performances were held at the WOW Café in June 2018.

"We're presenting "Confessions" again as it contains messages that need to be heard and touches on timely, thought and discussion-provoking subjects," says Nicky of the upcoming Black History Month performances. "I've made some poor choices because I didn't think I was worthy or good enough to have what I really wanted in life. This is my true life and I'm glad' I'm still living to tell it. It's never too late for you to start again, she added.
