Q&A Exclusive Interview with Ms.Nikki Burnett (http://www.nikkiburnettthebrand.com/) :
(Mrs.Nikki Burnett & Donnel Perry aka Prophet Amen Ra at the Black Women’s Expo 2017)
Donnel: Why did you decide to take down the Twin Tower Hooplyfe photo shoot with Johanna, & do you feel social media plays a big part in your decisions as a mother & brand ?
Nikki: I decided to take down the photos because my family had a major issue with it and my husband received calls
from coaches that expressed their opinions on how the photos can affect Nimari’s reputation with college coaches as well as teammates.
Social media definitely plays a major part in my brand as well as being a mother. Whatever I choose to put out to the world can have either a positive or negative effect on my son. If I see that anything I do, affects him in a negative light, I can’t and won’t do it! Period!

Donnel: How did Tami Roman get involved with your Basketball Mom apparel brand?
Nikki: Tami Hosted the Basketball Mom & HoopLegend fashion show when I launched in the Spring of 2014.

My brokers license in 2009.

Briea: What’s a typical day like in the life of Nikki Burnett?
Nikki: A typical day in the life of Nikki B. starts at 6 a.m. with me taking my son to school. Followed by real estate showings, meetings, several conference calls & daily errands. My day is consumed with Nimari’s activities such as strength training & basketball practice.
Once his school day ends around 3pm.3-4 times out of the week I’m getting g lammed up, & in the salon getting hair & makeup done. I attend & support various events thru out the city weekly. My typical week ends around 1am-2am and I’m back up the following day at 6 a.m. doing it all over again.
Briea: How has entrepreneurship affected your family dynamic? Does it allow you more quality time spend with loved ones?
Nikki: Entrepreneurship has affected my family dynamic in a positive way. It allows me flexibility to move around, travel and be present for school functions, basketball trips as well as ample time to spend with family and friends.
Briea: You’ve built a huge brand around your apparel lines BasketballMom & HoopLegend. What would you say is the best social media platform to promote a business or product?
Nikki: Instagram is the best social media platform that works for my brand. It’s the new wave in new free advertisement and there’s no limit to how many followers you can have.
Briea: While watching your reality tv show “Bringing Up Ballers” (Episode 3) it seemed to me that Johanna felt intimidated by your idea to hold a press conference to announce Nimari’s high school decision. Instead of being a supportive friend she was coming off as rude and envious. Do you think that people often mistake high confidence for arrogance? Why?
