Hello!

I’m Nicci Willis. I am your current Mrs. Henderson America 2024, ​competing for Mrs. Nevada America and beyond!


I’m a wife to my wonderful husband of 15 years Jameen Willis. I am ​mom to two wonderful adult children Josh and Nea, and our youngest ​son Jonathan, and dog mom to my sweet (and sometimes sour) rescue ​pup Nyla. I’m a Las Vegas realtor, investor, and community leader. I ​enjoy leading worship at my local church and co-hosting a witty ​podcast with my husband called “At Home with the Willises”- a ​podcast where we discuss family, faith, business, and real estate from a ​married couple’s perspective. I am the co-founder of Black Henderson ​and a member of the Henderson Chamber of Commerce. When I’m ​not working, I love exploring new local restaurants with my family.


My platform is the Front Burner Project- a mission to level the playing ​field for women entrepreneurs in underrepresented communities. It's ​about ensuring that every aspiring business owner has the resources, ​funding, and mentorship necessary to thrive, regardless of their ​background or circumstances.


Want to be a part of my journey? Follow me on IG for updates. You'll ​be the first to know about my upcoming appearances and events, and ​you'll get to see behind the scenes as I prepare to represent the State ​of Nevada. During this journey, I hope to inspire you to chase your own ​dreams and achieve your goals.


xoxo,

Nicci

My Platform:

The Front Burner Project

In 2010, at the age of 26, I embarked on the journey of ​entrepreneurship. As a young black woman, the road was ​challenging. I encountered countless barriers in accessing ​the resources necessary to not only start my business but ​also to nurture its growth. I felt isolated and overlooked ​in an ecosystem that often seemed designed for ​someone else.


Despite the obstacles, I persevered. In 2018, I achieved a ​milestone by reaching my first six figures in revenue. ​However, my personal success is only part of the story. It ​ignited within me a passion to ensure that other women, ​especially those who look like me and have similar ​experiences as me, have access to the support and ​opportunities they deserve.


The Front Burner Project is a vision to level the playing ​field for women entrepreneurs of color. It's about ​ensuring that every aspiring business owner has the ​resources, funding, and mentorship necessary to thrive, ​regardless of their background or circumstances.


Imagine a world where every pot on the stove receives ​the attention and resources it needs to flourish and feed ​the world. That's the world we're striving to create—a ​world where the potential of women entrepreneurs in ​underserved communities is recognized and supported.


For the past eight years, I've been actively involved with ​Mortar, a national nonprofit dedicated to empowering ​entrepreneurs in underprivileged areas. Through Mortar ​and my organization, Black Henderson, we've been ​making strides in local communities, hosting events, ​providing education, and championing the cause of ​minority entrepreneurship.


But we can't do it alone. We need your help to fuel our ​mission. By donating to the Front Burner Project, you're ​investing in a future where opportunity knows no ​bounds. Your contribution will directly support grants, ​funding initiatives, and educational programs that ​empower women to build businesses that sustain ​families and communities for generations to come.


Join us in bringing equality and equity to women ​entrepreneurs. Together, we can move every pot to the ​front burner.
