Fuel the Fire: Yale Is Nikki LaShae’s Next Stage

You know me-I’ve been grinding in this industry for years, pouring myself into work that heals, empowers, and uplifts. From major sets to national commercials, producing my own films, and building The Love Effect, everything I do is rooted in purpose.

So here’s the news: I’ve been accepted into the Yale Summer Conservatory for Actors.

I wasn’t going to start a GoFundMe. Honestly, I felt like I should be able to do this on my own. But a few people who really know what this moment means nudged me to open up and share it and to give my community the chance to walk with me.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to train at one of the most respected institutions in the world, elevate my craft, and position myself for the kind of career I’ve always known I was meant for.

The cost of tuition, lodging, and travel is $15,000, due by June 1st.

I’ve done a lot with a little, but this one is bigger than me. I don’t come from generational wealth-I come from grit, heart, and vision. And this step will amplify everything I’ve been building.

If you’ve ever been moved by something I created, if you’ve watched me work and believed in where this could go, I’m asking for your support now.

Whatever you give, whether it’s $5, $500, or a prayer, I receive it with deep gratitude. Let’s make this happen.

With Love,

Nikki LaShae
