Dr Nicholson is also a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. and Jack and Jill of America, Inc. Women in Alabama earn $0.67 cents for every dollar a man earns, amounting to a gap of more than $514,000 over their time in the workforce

I advocate for overcoming this challenge by encouraging lawmakers to strengthen equal pay protections and streamline the workforce development pipeline for women and girls.
