NICOLE YUKIKO SEKIYA(she/her)  is a Vancouver-based performer & creator as well as an enthusiastic champion of the legal recreational cannabis industry.

In 2015 Nicole completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts in acting from the University of British Columbia as well as a diploma in performance studies from Mount Royal University. Nicole’s focus as a storyteller is on sharing the experiences of underrepresented communities.

Nicole is the proud descendant of Japanese Canadians who were displaced during WWII. Her existence on the West Coast of Canada is an act of resistance to a then-legal, racist socio-economic policy. She is also grateful to live, work, and play on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. This includes the territories of the xwməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lō and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil- Waututh) Nations.
