ABOUT OUR GUEST

Morgan Harper Nichols is an artist, poet, and singer-songwriter, and musician, whose work is inspired by real life interactions and stories. It was on the road for her music that she cultivated her curiosity and passion for writing, art, and design and slowly began to share her work online where she has grown her audience of millions of people.

In 2017, Morgan started a project where she invites people to submit their stories to her website. From there, she creates art as a response to their stories and sends it to them before sharing the work publicly. As an artist, Morgan has collaborated with a wide range of brands including Coach, Adobe, Vogue Singapore, Aerie, and more. As a designer and author, her work is available in many stores, including Anthropologie, Barnes and Noble, and Target. Her book of poetry and art, “All Along You Were Blooming,” is available everywhere books are sold, and she will be releasing her next book, “How Far You Have Come” next week!
