AACtv’s Celebrity News & Interviews: Lincoln Heights’ Nicki Micheaux Talks with AACtv.
Hello Everyone,
When it comes to family dramas there aren’t very many out there. Not to mention that there are none like this one, “Lincoln Heights” on ABC Family.
Last week I had the privilege of speaking with one of the stars of ABC Family’s “Lincoln Heights”, Nicki Micheaux in a phone interview in Brentwood, CA. Nicki Micheaux was born in Detroit, MI, and her dad was a Colonel in the Army. Although, she lived in different places throughout the U.S. as a result of her father being a Colonel in the Army, she somehow found a love for acting.
