Nicole Adler is a dynamic professional speaker, human rights advocate and host of The No No Show on YouTube. She has spent more than a decade inspiring audiences and advancing the human rights of ALL people, with a special focus on the intersection of disability and LGBTQ+ identities. In 2024, Nicole made history as the first Grand Marshal with Down syndrome at San Francisco Pride and on October 1, 2025 she released her deeply authentic biography, With Love As Her Compass, that chronicles Nicole’s life as a bold self-advocate, a queer woman with a disability, and a national human rights champion. From her earliest days as a two-time Governor-appointed member of the California State Council on Developmental Disabilities to traveling America with her message of inclusion, Nicole’s story is both a celebration and a call to action. Nicole inspires audiences to embrace authenticity, take action in advocacy, and step into their fullest potential.
