About
Meet The Founder
Nikita Powell-Cottman was born and raised in Washington, D.C. Known to many as "Niki". She is a Restored Kingdom Woman, an intercessor, prayer warrior and worshiper. Niki's faithfulness and obedience to God's plan has grown her ministries of Faith & Mental Wellness and the Rise Up of Kingdom Women through her many platforms. Since a child, Niki has always had a heart for the "brokenhearted," but it hit different when it is you who's broken. After healing & restoration, Niki found her purpose in God to love and guide the lost, broken-hearted, hard-hearted and outcast people through their brokenness and darkness back to Our Savior.
