KEY NOTE SPEAKER
Nicole Cardoza
Nicole Cardoza is a magician, equity activist, and culture visionary who seamlessly blends the art of stage magic with the work of social justice to conjure a world where possibility knows no bounds.
Nicole enchants and educates her audiences by weaving creative illusions with the oft-untold history and future of Black and female magicians, encouraging us to discover our inherent magic, take risks, and learn from the extraordinary. By moving cards through time, coins through space, or destroying and restoring simple objects, audiences visualize and imagine what once may have felt impossible.
Nicole strives to be a beacon of change, utilizing action, strategy, and performance to reshape our reality. As a Black queer woman, Nicole works to transcend societal binaries, exploring the realms of possibility and reclaiming the essence of "Black Girl Magic" that is too often overlooked.
