About Me / by *nickels*

About:

Hi There! I'm Nickclette Izuegbu (pronounced 'ee-ZWAY-boo') and I love to create! I was born and raised in Houston, TX, or as I like to call it, Little Nigeria. Howdy!  The eldest of six, I spent a lot of time wrangling youngsters, tutoring, finding quiet places to read,  and getting used to lots of different personalities. Although I've always had a sneaking suspicion that performing was something I wanted to get do, it wasn't until I attended Harvard University that I became entranced by the dramatic arts. It was there where I also got the chance to study abroad in London for a semester studying theater. I was hooked. After graduating with a BA in Social Anthropology and a Secondary Field in Dramatic Arts, I headed to Philadelphia to to try my hand in its cultural expansive artistic community. I couldn't have wished for a better place to begin developing my artistic voice.

I am recent graduate of The University of Texas at Austin, where I received my M.F.A. in Acting. During my journey at UT, my passion for writing exploded along with my desire to create and produce my own plays, television shows, and films.  This passion arose from a hunger to create stories that would always allow me to continually work and develop pieces of art that would speak truthfully from my experiences experiences. And thus, EaseWayCreative was born.

When I'm not performing, I enjoy reading memoirs and comics, going for long walks anywhere, cooking or laughing. I've always been a bit of a vagabond and a nomad (I swear, I move at least once a year). To collaborate, cast, or work with a really interesting actor-writer-producer-anthropologist-teacher, feel free to contact me at nizuegbu@gmail.com or connect via social media @easewaysays. Let's get creating!
