Tracy Nicole is more than just a designer, she’s an author, a mother, an entrepreneur, an activist and a survivor. Born and raised in Atlanta by a single mom who survived domestic violence and worked endless hours to provide for she and her sister, she is no stranger to hard work and sacrifice. Tracy attended Florida A&M University where she received a Bachelor of Science degree in Occupational Therapy. After a painful divorce, she too became a single mother of two girls and mastered the art of juggling many hats. Tracy has always had a penchant for style and years ago enrolled in school to study fashion design at night while practicing Occupational Therapy by day. With limited resources she chose the plight of becoming an entrepreneur and accepted the challenges that came along. Firmly believing that one can always find the silver lining in any situation following an unexpected breast cancer diagnosis at a young age, Tracy took her survival journey and used it as inspiration. Combining her experience from her journey with her proclivity for fashion, she launched her first collection of Tracy Nicole Clothing, one that included pieces made especially with breast cancer patients in mind. The collection was featured at Dr. Jackie Walters’ (Married to Medicine) 50 Shades of Pink Gala in Atlanta. She has since partnered with Porsche Motors, to host events showcasing her designs to benefit educating and treating African-American Women affected by breast cancer through Komen Atlanta’s Sisters of Promise Program.As an entrepreneur, Tracy has been highlighted in various local and national publications, and has had the honor of having her most recent collection being featured in Paris Fashion Week 2019. Her evolution as a designer has proven to add to her success, providing simple – yet beautifully designed garments for women of all shapes and sizes. This led to the expansion of her brand’s sizes and launch of a new collection; SIMPLE by Tracy. “I wanted to create a collection where everything is SIMPLE and comfortable yet sexy and interchangeable... The very thing every woman wants.” says Tracy. In Spring 2020 the SIMPLE by Tracy collection made seamless infusion of her into the Four Seasons Spa retail in Atlanta.Tracy is currently channeling her passion for fashion design and women’s mental and physical health as the inspiration for the launch of her non-profit: The Tracy Nicole Foundation, a 501c3 established with a mission to empower, educate and enrich women’s lives. She resides in Atlanta with her two daughters, Kennedy and Kristian.
