Meet Nicole

Rooted was founded by Nichole Thompson, a relationship-driven creative with a heart for community and a deep belief that stories can be a lifeline. Rooted began with a simple idea: when we share what's true and hopeful, people feel less alone, and a city feels more connected.

Nichole's approach is calm, personal, and community-first. Rooted isn't built to be loud. It's built to be steady, trustworthy, and rooted, the kind of place you return to when you need perspective, encouragement, and reminders that good is happening here.

We welcome stories that inspire, encourage, and celebrate our community. Whether you're sharing a local success story, highlighting a business or nonprofit, recognizing a community leader, or writing about faith, family, education, or service, we'd love to hear from you.

Please submit original content that is respectful, accurate, and uplifting. Include your name, contact information, and any photos you'd like us to consider. All submissions are subject to editing for clarity, style, and length, and publication is at the discretion of the Rooted editorial team.
