About Nicole Adler

Nicole Adler is a speaker, human rights advocate, author, and host whose work centers on one core belief: every voice has the power to create change.

For more than a decade, Nicole has been a leading advocate for the rights and inclusion of people with disabilities. As a two-time Governor-appointed member of the California State Council on Developmental Disabilities, she has contributed to advancing policy, strengthening systems, and elevating the voices of individuals and families across California and beyond.

In 2024, Nicole made history as the first person with Down syndrome to serve as a Grand Marshal for San Francisco Pride, bringing national attention to the importance of visibility, representation, and belonging for people with disabilities.

Nicole is the author of With Love as Her Compass, a memoir that chronicles her journey as a self-advocate and changemaker. Through honest storytelling, she shares the challenges she has faced, the barriers she has helped break, and the lessons she has learned about resilience, purpose, and leading with love.

She is also the founder and host of The No No Show, a popular YouTube series featuring conversations with leaders, advocates, and changemakers who are working to create a kinder and more inclusive world. Through this platform, Nicole continues to elevate important conversations and inspire action.

As a speaker, Nicole brings authenticity, passion, and a clear call to action to every audience. Her presentations focus on disability pride, advocacy, and the power of using your voice, encouraging individuals and organizations to move beyond awareness and take meaningful steps toward inclusion.

Nicole speaks to audiences across education, corporate, nonprofit, and government sectors, leaving them with a renewed sense of purpose and the tools to create real, lasting change.

Her children’s book “I Am Me” will be released on July 1, 2026.
