It does take a lot of effort sometimes to really know who’s who in show business and keep up with everyone. Nicole Ari Parker however is someone that should probably stand out since she’s accomplished a great deal with her career and earned her way up the ladder so to speak. She’s had a large number of roles throughout her career that have allowed her to showcase the kind of talent she can provide to a project and she’s also managed to create a reputation that paints her as a professional that knows how to accomplish what she wants and still manages to work with others on a continual basis. Whatever hardships she’s had to face in her life, and there have been a couple at least, she has still managed to forge ahead and make the best of the situations that life provides.
Here are a few things you might not have known about her.
10. She is an only child.
This can be a detriment to some kids unless they are unfailingly social since being the only child in a family can mean that a child becomes spoiled or lonesome considering that they have no one to socialize with and no one to share anything with. A person’s life can go either way, but many parents wisely choose to integrate their children into society in one way or another so as to teach them how to function outside the home.
9. Her daughter was born with spina bifida.
If you didn’t know what this is it is a birth defect in which an infant’s spinal cord doesn’t develop fully. It is a condition that must be handled with care since it cause physical and intellectual impairments depending on which part of the spinal cord is affected.
8. She doesn’t believe in insecurities.
Nicole is the kind of person that fully embraces her own differences and suggests that others do the same. Insecurities are often to be respected but she tends to feel that they limit people far too much and keep them from enjoying a broader spectrum of life.
7. She has a massive following on social media.
She has well over 900 thousand followers on social media so it’s rightfully called massive since a lot of celebrities have a few hundred thousand or less no matter if they’re among the most elite in Hollywood.
6. Her career started in 1993.
A lot has happened in the acting industry since the 90s but if a person is going to state that it’s all good they might want to take a look at the past few years and think again. Things have certainly changed, but as many of those that started out decades before might agree, it hasn’t all been for the better.
5. She was in Boogie Nights.
You can’t really say this was the rise and fall of the porn industry since the porn industry is still going strong. But it was certainly a movie about the good old days and what it was like in the 70s when things were still easy enough, apparently, to get done without a lot of fuss. Once the 80s came around though, the party was over.
4. She was in Remember the Titans.
Football is an equal playing field no matter who says what about it. There should never be a discussion of who’s better or who’s worse because of their skin tone on the field. Those that come to play are there to win, beginning and ending of story. That was one of the main messages of this movie.
3. She’s been nominated for many awards.
It would seem that being nominated and not winning might actually be a little better than winning all the time since it keeps a person hungry for the win, ready to do anything and accomplish whatever task is set in front of them. Winning too often can tend to dull that competitive edge.
2. She briefly attended a Montessori school when she was younger.
Montessori schools have kept a rather interesting reputation over the years as some people swear by them and others tend to think they don’t work as well. In all honesty the schools work so long as the students are motivated to learn, just like any school.
1. She was with the Washington Ballet Company before she went on to train for an acting career.
It would seem that Nicole has had an interesting life at this point and one that has involved a great deal of education, which is so much the better. The more educated a person is, however that education might come, the more informed they are about the world around them, and so they become that much more effective and functional as a person.
It’s pretty easy to say that she’s a very intriguing woman and no doubt well-rounded in her ways.
