Narcissa's Nook

Welcome to Narcissa's Nook! I’m Narcissa Nikolaeva—a freelance journalist, self-published author, photographer, and unapologetic dreamer. Writing has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and my passion has always been to tell stories on my own terms.

With a degree in journalism and experience interning in news media, I’ve honed my skills in storytelling. But the real magic happens when I take the reins myself. As a writer, my mission is to give voice to the unspeakable—to shed light on topics often left in the shadows. As an author, I strive to challenge stereotypes and dismantle stigmas surrounding mental health, substance abuse, chronic illness, and more.

This website is a reflection of me—a home for my thoughts, creative concepts, and the things I write or photograph. Here, you’ll find explorations of pop culture, from music and movies to books and TV. Whatever brought you here, I hope you find something that resonates.
