About Nikki Alexander

Nikki Alexander crafts stories that represent the many facets of the Black community. She strives to tell the story of successful Black women navigating difficult environments in ways that are unexpected in light of traditional narratives, at the same time exploring themes that will appeal to any reader—moral dilemmas, high expectations, and romantic relationships in the face of career and family pressures.

After attending college in the Midwest, where she had the good fortune of excellent writing professors, she graduated from Harvard Law School. She has published articles in academic journals on race, gender, and space.

Nikki lives in the greater Washington DC area. When she’s not lawyering or writing, she enjoys tap dancing and attempting to keep her temperamental houseplants alive.
