We had the good fortune of connecting with Tiffany Nicole and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tiffany, is your business focused on helping the community? If so, how?
They say when your child goes to prison, you do time too but nobody talks about the silent sentence mothers serve.
Whether their child is guilty or not, innocent or not that’s still somebody’s child. She’s left carrying the weight of a world that doesn’t understand. Whether it’s a 10-year bid or a 20-year stretch, that’s not the end of her story.
I’m Tiffany Nicole, I created My Child Is In Prison… Now What? Podcast. My work helps mothers heal, rise, and reclaim their voice because while their child is doing time, it’s time for her to find purpose, strength, and peace again. This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a movement of faith, healing, and freedom for the mothers the world forgot.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My art is rooted in pain, but it blooms in purpose. What sets me apart is that I’m not ashamed to tell my truth. I’m not afraid to say, “My child is in prison.” I carry that boldly because I know God is using my story to free other women from guilt, silence, and shame. One of the most meaningful extensions of this mission is The Jochebed Collection, my clothing line brand named after Moses’s mother. Jochebed had to do the unthinkable place her son in a basket and release him into the Nile, trusting that God would protect what she could no longer hold. That story mirrors what so many mothers of incarcerated children face: the heartbreak of letting go, the courage to trust God, and the faith to keep believing in a future beyond bars.
I’m also proud of being featured in Time magazine for my work around incarceration awareness.
I didn’t get here easily. I got here by the grace of God one painful step at a time. There were nights when no one listened to my podcast, when I cried silently because I hadn’t heard my son’s voice. for almost 2 years. Nights where doubt crept in and I wanted to give up. But the Word of God kept me. The voices of leaders like Pastor John Hannah and Prophet Katara Hull helped remind me that this assignment is bigger than me.
The biggest lesson I’ve learned is that healing starts with perspective. You have to fall in love with yourself again. Rediscover who you are outside of your child’s situation. Learn how to walk by faith and believe that even in the middle of chaos God is still working it all together for your good. The good, the bad, and the ugly. What I want the world to know is that I represent a community of women who are no longer sitting in silence. We are rising with faith. We are turning pain into purpose. And just like Jochebed, we are trusting God with the most sacred parts of our story.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
The journey begins in Inglewood at Summerville on Slauson, a cozy local gem where comfort food and community collide. From there, I love showing off LA’s cityscape from above rooftop lounges like GetLostDTLA also Zayadtla offer incredible views, good vibes, and good music. When it comes to culture, I would head to Leimert Park, where art, Black history, and community take center stage.
Rest and restoration are a must, Spala Los Angeles in Koreatown. Between steam rooms and stillness, it’s a place to breathe deeply and reset. Afterward, Korean BBQ

Can’t leave out Long Beach Gaucho Beach for a beachfront happy hour and can’t leave out a boat ride, there’s something about the waves. Before saying goodbye, I would end with a grounding moment at Deeper Church LA or meditation by the beach followed by a sunset.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
First and foremost, all glory goes to God. He has ordered my steps every step of the way, guiding me, strengthening me, and aligning me with the right people at the right time. Without His direction, none of this would be possible. I truly believe He placed certain people in my life to push me, uplift me, and help birth the purpose within me.
One of those people is Prophet Katara Hull. She has been a divine voice in my life, someone who believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. She spoke life over me, encouraged me, and reminded me that this platform I’m building is part of God’s plan. Her prayers and prophetic insight came at a time when I was ready to give up, and because of her obedience to God, I found the strength to keep going. I want to give a special shoutout to my friend Shannon Nicole. During my darkest moments especially when my son was in solitary she sent encouraging cards, uplifting texts, and stayed on the phone with me through many tears. Her love and support have meant the world to me, and I’m so grateful for our friendship. I also want to give a heartfelt shoutout to the “Impact of Incarceration on Mothers” organization. This group of powerful women has been a lifeline for me. Their prayers, encouragement, and shared experiences have poured into me in ways I didn’t know I needed. While I created this space to support them, they’ve supported me just as much. We carry one another, and it’s a constant reminder that we are not alone.

Through every high and low, God has used these individuals and this community to remind me of my purpose. And for that, I am forever grateful.
