Nikki Brown

In 2011, during the Juneteenth Parade, known as Nikki Brown clown, she became the first Black Clown in Portland. Since then she has been active in the clown community and has earned numerous accolades. She has participated in the nationally recognized, Portland’s Rose Festival Clown Corp. In 2014, she was recognized by Portland Rose Festival as Entertainer of the Year and in 2015, she was awarded Clown of the Year.

​

Her goal is to promote cultural pride and awareness among the Black community, with special emphasis on engaging children of diverse backgrounds. She has worked tirelessly throughout North and Northeast Portland advocating for the importance of literacy among Black children, with special attention to connecting Black children to books that support and validate Black children’s experience. She started a Black Story time at a community coffee shop that ended with an early childhood Kwanzaa celebration.

​

Her work expands beyond books, as she has worked with Black girls to promote healthy eating and cooking. Her work within communities have long lasting effects on the well-being of Black families. In fact, the Northeast Portland community demonstrated their love and appreciation for her contributions by painting a Nikki Brown Clown literacy promotion mural in the heart of Northeast Portland.

Connect with Josie Coleman

Josie fumbled her way through childhood as an ‘out of control’ healer. She exhausted herself trying to heal and manage everyone’s energy around her.  In her early 20s, due to a bout of Mono and the Epstein Barr Flare up that followed, she became ‘desperate’ enough to include Eastern medicine into her healing process. This alternative mind/body/soul restoration carried her through a career as a hairdresser, happily doing extra intuitive readings of her clients as well as styling their hair.

After the death of her mother and due to a back injury, her Eastern medicine support introduced to her first intuitive, Liliana Barzola, at Lotus Lantern Healing Arts. Being completely ignorant as to what an ‘intuitive’ reading was, Josie was amazed at the relief and clarity she experienced.

Feeling empowered, she dove into intuitive training classes at Lotus Lantern Healing Arts (now called the ABC Collective online); diligently driving hundreds of miles each week to hone her skills in an ethical way as well as learning to stay grounded on her own healing path.  After years of training (both at LLHA and with other wonderful teachers), she officially began her career as an intuitive. Over a decade later, she loves every day of this work. Her strengths vary, providing a list of healing options: one to one Intuitive Sessions, Animal Communication readings, Astrology and Space Clearings for your home or business (virtual or in person).

Through sessions, classes and workshops she had gotten to know a diverse group of people from all over the world and enjoys being a support to those on their healing journey.
