Who I am . . .
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.
It was an honor to co-host the LantermanCoalition's "Keeping California’s Promise" interview featuring Tony Thurmond, California State Superintendent of Public Instruction and candidate for Governor of California. Here is a short 5 min clip from the interview, which was about an hour long. To watch the full interview, and the other candidate interviews, visit https://thelantermancoalition.org/events
The interview is part of the non-partisan conversation series, bringing together disability community leaders and candidates to discuss the future of services and supports for Californians with developmental disabilities and their families.
The disability community represents one of the largest and most powerful voter blocs in California. It's important to stay informed about the candidates so you know who to choose in the upcoming elections. Thank you to The Arc of California for inviting me to be part of this important series.
Latest Episode of The No No Show
This episode is a beautiful reminder that sometimes the most meaningful connections happen when you least expect them. 💫 I met my guests completely by chance while out walking with my mom in Sacramento. A simple hello at an outdoor shopping area turned into an instant connection — and the start of a truly special friendship. Enjoy this interview with Eddie Jo Williams, one of the world’s top strongman competitors, and his incredible wife Hannah — a powerhouse strength athlete, devoted partner, and the heart of their family. Together, they’re raising three amazing kids in Australia, radiating love, pride, and joy in every moment. Eddie’s strength is legendary, but what truly shines is the kindness and warmth both he and Hannah bring wherever they go. With February being a month of love, they’re the perfect couple to talk about love, partnership, family, and balancing big dreams with real life.
