Now, she&rsquo;s a Les Brown endorsed debut author and self-help coach.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Nicole Borden (AKA &ldquo;NickyPurple&rdquo;) is a mother of three whose message to those going through hard times is simple: &ldquo;You are still beautiful.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">That message is the core of NickyPurple&rsquo;s first book, &ldquo;Still Beautiful&rdquo;, released in May 2018. Part memoir, part recovery journal, part inspirational journey, &ldquo;Still Beautiful&rdquo; details much of the pain NickyPurple suffered through her life; physical and sexual abuse, homelessness, and the loss of her teeth to a gum disease by age 30. However, despite these tragedies, NickyPurple never lost her positivity or her passion to make the world a better place.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Video Link: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qXMCmiTzeSM\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qXMCmiTzeSM<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&ldquo;I remember at one point, I was homeless, but I still had the passion and the energy to create a neighborhood garden for the homeless community,&rdquo; recalls NickyPurple. &ldquo;I had just lost my car, so I had to carry all the gardening supplies on the bus. I just knew that even though I had needs of my own, I could still help others.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">NickyPurple believes it was that sense of unflagging optimism and kindness that ultimately turned her life around, much of which she documents in &ldquo;Still Beautiful.&rdquo; At her lowest moment, NickyPurple won the &ldquo;Deserving Diva&rdquo; award, a giveaway by an Atlanta-area cosmetic dentist that gave her a brand-new smile. &ldquo;I could have given up,&rdquo; says NickyPurple. &ldquo;But despite everything that happened to me, I knew I still had something to give the world, and that I was still beautiful. That belief put me in position to win that award, and have the success I&rsquo;m having today as an author and inspirational speaker.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Since receiving her new smile, NickyPurple has dedicated herself to sharing her story with other women who are going though tough transitions in their lives. She&rsquo;s written a book, created a website, YouTube channel, and more to spread her message of inner beauty to those who need to hear it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&ldquo;There are so many beautiful people out there who have experienced pain and misfortune like me,&rdquo; says NickyPurple. &ldquo;I want to share with them that they can rise above all that is broken and find their beauty, because they are still beautiful.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">To schedule an interview with NickyPurple, contact her at <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"mailto:info@nickypurple.com\">info@nickypurple.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">For more information, visit: <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheOfficialNickyPurple\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheOfficialNickyPurple<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"caps\"><span style='font-size:18px !important'>Media Contact<\/span><br \/><strong>Contact Person:<\/strong> NickyPurple<br \/><strong>Email:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/email_contact_us.php?pr=nickypurple-from-homeless-to-selfhelp-guru\">Send Email<\/a><br \/><strong>Phone:<\/strong> 678-800-3796<br \/><strong>City:<\/strong> Alpharetta<br \/><strong>State:<\/strong> Georgia<br \/><strong>Country:<\/strong> United States<br \/><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheOfficialNickyPurple\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TheOfficialNickyPurple<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.abnewswire.com\/press_stat.php?pr=nickypurple-from-homeless-to-selfhelp-guru\" alt=\"\" width=\"1px\" height=\"1px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The odds-defying journey of NickyPurple ATLANTA, GA &#8211; October&nbsp;16, 2018 &#8211; She&rsquo;s been beaten down, beaten up, left homeless and toothless.
