Get Your Daily Dose Of Entertainment Heat!Nikki WoodsBiographyRadio personality and author, Nikki Woods, has written a poignant new novel about love and risk, featuring a skillfully created cast of characters that are so full of life, they breathe, dream, and shout right off the page. Nikki was born in Rock Hill, Missouri, just west of Saint Louis, where her family was an integral part of the community. Her father, Kennard O. Whitfield, is a former Rock Hill Mayor and Alderman. An avid writer since grade school, her day dreams became her short stories and her journals became the home for her thoughts and memories. She pursed Education at Howard University and also has a BA in Journalism from the University of St. Francis where her aspirations to enter the field of broadcast journalism came to light. Her family has ties in Jamaica, and Woods relished the opportunity to teach elementary education overseas in Portland Parish, Jamaica before switching careers. She eventually began her journey in Broadcasting when she became a news reporter for KMOX-AM [St. Louis], then on to a spot as morning co-host and news director at WILD-AM [Boston]. After meeting with Elroy R.C. Smith (Operation Manger/Program Director of WGCI), she joined The Crazy Howard McGee Morning Show. Woods can be heard everyday delivering the latest scoop on such notable Hollywood stars as LL Cool J, Steve Harvey and Queen Latifah to name a few. Nikki Woods spends some of her spare time doing volunteer work with The Big Sister, Little Sister Program, Chicago's Rape Crisis Center and the Walter S. Christopher School for Children. She lives in the Chicago Suburbs with her family. She is currently working on her second and third novels, Innocence Lost and Light My Pathway Home. Nikkis other credits include: host and producer of The Art Of Words, a monthly cable television show dedicated to the craft of writing; contributing writer to Stories Of The Soul a national television series; contributing writer to Parlevouz Entertainment Magazine, Women IN Entertainment Magazine; and founder of E Entertainment Daily Update.
