Nichelle Stephens
What makes me a lady: I enjoy hosting events, making introductions and connecting people. Hopefully my efforts make New York City seem more like a friendly small town than a big scary city.
Favorite guilty pleasure: Cupcakes.
Three things on my life list: Owning my own home, meeting Oprah Winfrey and visiting Hong Kong.
If I could have a superpower, it would be: To teleport myself down to Atlanta whenever my Dad makes his famous chili.

Ladies I admire: My mom (Regina Stephens), Santigold (recording artist) and First Lady Michelle Obama.
