About the Author Nicholas Hawkins is a movement strategist, wealth advisor, and founder of Hawkins Holdings, a firm built at the intersection of capital, culture, and community. Born and raised in Grand Prairie, Texas, Nicholas began his leadership journey as a teenage activist in the NAACP, organizing rallies and pushing for policy change before he could vote.
His unconventional path from community college classrooms and grassroots organizing to private equity deal teams and the Goldman Sachs wealth management division reflects his belief that the people closest to the pain must be closest to the power. Over the past decade, Nicholas has blended civic engagement with high finance, helping to design investment strategies, philanthropic vehicles, and decentralized financial tools that serve both legacy and liberation.
Through his writing and his work, Nicholas champions a future where capital is no longer gatekept but democratized, used to build infrastructure, not just influence. His firm, Hawkins Holdings, partners with visionary leaders, funders, and institutions to create enduring systems of shared wealth and purpose.
Nicholas currently serves as Parliamentarian of the Dallas-Fort Worth Urban League Young Professionals and leads the Maroon Dispatch: a publication dedicated to political education, economic power, and revolutionary storytelling.
