Nicole Vassell, a Black woman with long black braids, smiles in front of a leafy tree

Hello!!

I’m Nicole, a freelance journalist based in London, UK.

I specialise in writing about music, TV, theatre, current affairs… in short, all things relating to culture, lifestyle, travel and women’s interests. I previously worked at The Independent as a culture reporter for 2.5 years, and I have since written for publications such as British Vogue, Esquire, ELLE UK, The Guardian, The i, Metro, Glamour, Red and Harper’s Bazaar.

Broadcast-wise, I have also provided cultural commentary on Sky News, Channel 4 News and BBC World News.

I also use my Instagram and TikTok pages to fire off the cultural takes that I simply must let out of the group chat.

Currently open for commissions, consultations, shift work and coffee chats. Get in touch!
