Nicole Linton, CEO of Nicobi Cares and Co-Founder of Nicobi Foods, is celebrating 20 years of committed community service, mentorship, and steady leadership. Her Black family-owned brand sells thousands of bottles of sauces and seasonings each month, and generates millions each year in revenue. However, her philanthropy focuses on care, access, and opportunity, and continues to positively shape families, local organizations, and entrepreneurs across Pennsylvania.
Over the past two decades, Nicole has supported countless individuals through food access initiatives, youth empowerment programs, and hands-on mentorship. She has also played a key role in connecting small businesses within the CPG (consumer packaged goods) community, helping Nicobi Foods achieve a #2 national ranking on RangeMe as one of the fastest-growing food and beverage brands — a reflection of meaningful networking and collaboration throughout the industry.
New Self-Help Book “Blame It on the Feel of Pain” About Detangling From Past Pain
Get ready for a transformational journey toward inner peace as indie author Max W. Miller’s new self-help release, Blame It On The Feel Of Pain, inspires readers in a witty, down-to-earth book. Truth and compassion are foretold, using poetic frames called ‘The Wises,’ and the help of opinionated little emojis bringing laughter and thought-provoking conclusions throughout.
The author encourages her readers, whom she also calls partners, to stop wrestling with the hard knocks of the past. She expresses how voluntarily walking back into time precedes trauma healing. Confronting lingering pains is a step toward strength and hope for the future. ‘Blame It’ delves into the author’s life experiences, bringing to life the importance of using Full Circle Moments to find resolutions.
Throughout Blame It On The Feel Of Pain, the reader grows to understand through a unique interpretation that what we are destined to become grows out of the years we’ve already traveled. Further, our future hinges on how we address the pains of the past. Other expressions focus on how desires in the present are carved out of having a clear vision that old, lingering strongholds must be defeated. A history of suffering is a prerequisite for becoming fed up enough to demand enjoyment now!
