Nicole Brassington is a social enterprise entrepreneur and healthcare provider who has dedicated her life to helping others and women’s empowerment as a nurse practitioner and businesswoman. Determined to positively impact the lives of women around the world she started NSPIRE Enterprises as a vehicle to allow her to create and support businesses that inspire, invest, and leverage influence for good.

A native of Lexington, Kentucky, Nicole spent the first part of her career working as an Acute Care Nurse Practitioner and Administrator in Heart and Lung Transplant throughout the southeast region of the US. Most recently she answered the call of service and worked on the frontlines caring for COVID patients in the hospital and Intensive Care Unit. Her career in healthcare gave her a keen awareness of health disparities that women face around the world. That awareness led her to co-found Bespoke Global Health Initiatives with Dr. Angelina Strickland as a way to change the world by empowering young women with health literacy, wellness, and self-confidence. After taking a mission trip to Sierra Leone, West Africa and witnessing the hopefulness of young women who have survived a Civil War and an Ebola pandemic, she knew her life calling was to be a humanitarian and leave a legacy that will transcend her lifetime.

Nicole sums up her unique life experiences and qualifications by considering herself to be a transformational leader and humanitarian. “I was told at a very young age that I’m my only limiting factor so I live my life with the audacity to dream big and the tenacity to make dreams into reality,” she says. Whether it’s educating or treating a patient, creating unique hospitality spaces, investing in businesses, inspiring others or leveraging her influence for social impact, these efforts culminate through NSPIRE Enterprises.
