12/04/14: 5 Ways to Wish Nicki Mayo a Happy Birthday

80’s BABY! Don’t hate on my crushed velvet outfit. I was in style. And ain’t no party like a Mickey Mouse party.

Having a birthday December 4th is pretty fun, although it’s easy to get eclipsed by all the Jay Z love on twitter.

Hmmm maybe I should give guys from NYC a chance.

Then your friends kindly wake you up with texts to remind you that ‘Hova is better than you.

My TV little bro since YNN Buffalo Ron Snyder has absolutely no chill. Yes he seriously sent me this… like THIS morning. lol. I still adore him.

But that’s ok because you share a birthday with the fabulously FIERCE fashionista model diva Tyra Banks.

There’s also the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity founders day too.

And let’s not forget EVERY December baby is competing with Christmas and the rest of the holidays. I’m Christian, so I decided a long time ago to not compete with the birth of baby Jesus. You can’t win. After all, Jesus is the reason for the season.

Just be glad for whatever you may get, because you’ll probably have to wait until Christmas to see a gift. So material gifts become less important. I appreciate quality time more. But I would like a couple social media gifts. [[hint, hint]]

All those Facebook friends and NO LOVE on the professional page. I’m hurt folks.

“Like” my Facebook Page
Like seriously people, I have nearly 5,000 Facebook friends and only 400 are “liking” my professional page. Com’on and “like it” already.
“Follow” me on Twitter, Instagram and SoundCloud at ” @NickiMayoNews “Considering I have 1,900 tweeps and 1,400 IG followers, how in the world do I have only 3 (THREE) people following me on SoundCloud. ummm ouch!
Check out my website https://www.nickimayonews.com/
Click around. It’s actually a cyber time capsule of all my work since 2008. I started blogging and chronicling my work while I worked in Appalachia, and continued it through the Buffalo years and launching “The List.” Lately my work for the Associated Press and WNAV has really gotten exciting.

This is how my junior journos apologize for NOT turning in stories. i have to admit, it’s so cute it kind of works.

I even have my little junior journo kids from the Cheverly STEM Education Center featured on the website. So check it out. After all my students say, “Ms Mayo is SO cool.”
Check out the Baltimore Association of Black Journalists website . I’m kind of the president and A LOT of work is going into getting a good professional NABJ chapter here in Charm City. BTW we have a #BABJHoliday Happy Hour & Toy Drive coming up Wednesday Dec 10. CLICK HERE TO RSVP for #BABJHoliday
Gotta love this little lady. It’s my baby cousin Allysa. We matched this day. Sadly it was the day we buried our grandmother a few weeks ago.

Hug, smile and laugh with the people you LOVE the most. You never know when life will end so ENJOY it my friends.

I LOVE DECEMBER 4th!

P.S. … y’all know right now I’m somewhere rocking Beyonce’s 7/11 right? #DJM, it’s my birthday.

Because my birthday is MY new year!
