About me

Hi, I’m Nicki.

Professionally, I’m Andrea Martin. I’m 42, a mother of three, and a grandmother near Augusta, Georgia. I became a mom at 15. I’ve started over more than once, and I know what it’s like to need a way forward without knowing where to begin.

I’ve spent years working with people in sales, customer relations, and training, while exploring online business in my spare time. I love figuring things out and helping someone see possibilities she hadn’t considered. Through Andi-Rae, I’m turning that into writing, creative work, and practical resources for women who want their own money, choices, and path. I’m building mine too, and sharing what I learn.

I’m also building In Her Corner, my separate mission to protect teenage girls from sexual abuse within their families and demand better responses when they speak. My experience as a mother is part of why I’m committed to this work. Her safety comes first. Her story stays hers.

Andi-Rae grew out of Andrea, a name I was given but rarely called. Choosing it for this work feels like choosing what comes next for myself.

Connected purpose. Distinct work.

There is more than one part of me here.

My writing holds stories about motherhood, rebuilding, and becoming. In Her Corner is the separate initiative I’m developing for teenage girls who deserve protection. Those are the parts of Andi-Rae I’m sharing right now. There is room for it to grow without having every part figured out today.

I share my own experiences with care. Other people’s stories belong to them, including my family’s.

Work · Creativity · Starting over

Starting out or starting over: You still have options.

“You have options” sounds good. But okay, what are they? What do they require? And where do you start when you already have a lot on your plate?

In Her Corner

She was always enough.

An image of me with my younger self. Bringing the girl I was and the woman I am together.

A girl deserves to be heard, believed, protected, and fought for when she speaks.

I’m developing a separate initiative focused on teenage girls harmed within families. Her voice and her future matter.

Closing the gap.

The image brings the girl I was and the woman I am together. This purpose has roots in my life from childhood to now. My experiences are my own; the mission centers the girl who needs protection today.

You do not have to share your story publicly to deserve support. Your privacy, boundaries, and choice to participate matter here.

Your story belongs to you

The initiative is in development. Right now, this space shares its purpose and directs visitors to established support.
