Niki Soledad is an aspiring writer, comic, actor (sure,let’s throw that one in) and a self-proclaimed master of self-defecating humor (see what she did there?). Her principle life tenant is to cry today so that you can laugh tomorrow – which, some might argue, has resulted in her living mostly in today rather than tomorrow.

Niki refuses to call one place home, and instead aggressively explains that she was born in New York, raised in New Jersey, and grew up in Chicago.
