Nicole Francois is an actress and you undoubtedly know this from the moment she walks through the door. Arriving over an hour late for our meeting, she walked in with an infectious smile. With bright green eye makeup, Nicole explained how her eyes constantly stand out. Shine on. Nicole is a burst of energy and to hang with her, you better be able to keep up. She’s fast-talking and you better be interesting enough to keep her attention. One thing to note about Nicole is her love for Utopia. A proud, strong mother, she’s actively teaching her daughter to do the same.

“Utopia has always spent a lot of time with me,” she recalls and then adds, “That’s definitely how and why we are so close.” She mentioned the days of her acting and singing where Utopia wouldn’t be far behind. Even though the interview was about the both of them, Nicole was very focused on making sure Utopia was the center of attention. For Utopia, Nicole and her father are almost like celebs in the NOLA community. Utopia’s father is a rapper…and does taxes, Nicole laughs as she explained the dichotomy of his profession and the unique upbringing of Utopia.
I inquired, “How did you decide to name Utopia?” Nicole smiles and tells me, “I had a dream and I didn’t know where I was. It was a beautiful place and I saw a child. I didn’t realize at that moment that it was my child. I woke up and found out shortly after that I was pregnant. I realized that I was in a Utopian place and since I saw my child there, I named her Utopia.”
