Hello! I’m Nikki Shupavu, previously known as Tonya Thompson, a name given to me by God. I’m a creative writer who believes every story deserves to be told with respect, love, and grace. Originally from Miami, FL with West Indian roots, I pursued Theatre in New York at the American Musical & Dramatic Academy, in 2006. I completed my BFA at SCAD & currently an MFA Dramatic Writing Candidate there. I've acted in regional theaters and Broadway Tours, including Mary Poppins and Something Rotten, while also becoming a five time self-published author featured on Amazon.​​​​

I take great pride in my work. Knowing that my stories are out there fills me with a newfound confidence, allowing me to embrace my experiences and share them with the world as my authentic self. My mentor once advised me to be unapologetic in telling my story, to master the art of sharing it, and to help others heal through it. Now, I challenge you: are you courageous enough to own and share your story? Remembering your voice is crucial. I encourage you to reflect on these important questions to help you begin: > Who are you? > What is your story? > Whose story inspires you? > What makes your story worthy of being told? > Who is your target audience?
