As families across the nation celebrated Mother’s Day yesterday, one woman’s story stood out as a powerful reflection of purpose, resilience, and service. Lady Nicole L. Howard, Co-CEO of Respect My Royalty LLC and the Respect My Royalty Cares Foundation, continues to inspire women and communities through her leadership, creativity, and unwavering commitment to empowerment.

For many, Mother’s Day is a time to honor the women who nurture, sacrifice, and uplift others. For Lady Nicole, that spirit of care extends far beyond her family and into the lives of countless individuals throughout Maryland and beyond.

A respected community advocate, Lady Nicole also serves as President of Alpha Wives of Howard County and Immediate Past 2nd Vice President of EHCS of NCNW. Through each role, she has dedicated herself to creating opportunities and restoring dignity for others.

Among the many impactful initiatives she has helped lead are programs that directly address the needs of women, youth, and families. Her “Say Yes to the Dress” initiative provides prom dresses to deserving high school students, ensuring they can celebrate important milestones with confidence and pride. Through Blessing Bags and monthly volunteer service efforts, she and her team provide essentials and meals to unhoused citizens in Howard County and surrounding communities.

Lady Nicole also co-founded Cradle Comforts, a program supplying baby essentials to young mothers, while continuing to support local graduating seniors through scholarships and donations honoring academic achievement.

But her vision extends beyond community outreach.

Lady Nicole has also become a force in storytelling and artistic empowerment through the groundbreaking Chosen trilogy, inspired by the Amazon bestselling book Chosen: A Lady’s Journey from Called, to Crushed, to Crowned. The trilogy includes Chosen the Stage Play, Chosen the Stage Play on Film, and the upcoming feature film Chosen: Reclaiming Her Time.

The original stage production toured for two years, earning 23 awards and multiple sold-out performances while resonating deeply with audiences through themes of healing, faith, resilience, and restoration.

Now, the movement enters a new chapter.

The feature film Chosen: Reclaiming Her Time is set to premiere Memorial Day, May 25, 2026, at Maryland Live! Hotel and Casino. The highly anticipated premiere represents another milestone in Respect My Royalty’s mission to amplify stories that encourage women to reclaim their purpose, value, and voice.

Respect My Royalty has evolved into far more than a brand or nonprofit organization. It has become a movement centered on helping women reclaim their crowns and walk boldly in their purpose. Through programs like Storm in the Dorms, We Got Sole, SOCK-TOBER, and annual Back-to-School drives, the organization continues to bridge the gap between advocacy, education, and empowerment.

At the center of it all is Lady Nicole’s unwavering belief in preparing the next generation with the confidence and tools necessary to thrive.

This Mother’s Day served as a reminder that motherhood is not only defined by raising children, but also by nurturing communities, inspiring transformation, and creating pathways for others to succeed. Lady Nicole L. Howard embodies that spirit through every life she touches.

As her husband shared in his tribute, her journey is one marked by strength, courage, and resilience—and her impact continues to grow both on stage and in the community.
