UNI Interview w/Nicole Lyricc

UNI's(Eva Andersen)
-First of all, I would like to say that I really, really appreciated your performance. I had brought along my younger sister through the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, and the inspirational message of faith that you preached was something I was so glad I could bring her to hear--it touched both of us. It was such a special time that you came--right when I was having so much anxiety and getting so caught up with planning for my future!

I am on staff at the Northern Iowan (UNI's newspaper) and I really wanted to write an article covering your show. I have some pictures that I took that will be included. If you could take the time to answer a few questions, I would greatly appreciate it.


UNI-What has been your favorite part about performing to
different audiences?

NL-First of all I’d like to Thank you again for you gracious
and encouraging words and Thanks to Wise Decisions and the University of Northern Iowa for having me.
My favorite part about performing is to be able to use my testimony to inspire &
encourage other people. For me to inspire, goes beyond what
I do artistically meaning what I may say in the show but
also positionally, meaning the fact that I am having a show and
an opportunity to share my gifts with others. I believe
that when we stop focusing on what we don’t have and focus
more on the gifts God has given us to make a living as well
as to affect someone else in a positive way, we will find
life so much more fulfilling.


UNI- What is one thing that you have learned from speaking to
others?

NL-I am learning that people are really not that different
and it’s a thread of relevance that connects us all
together.

UNI- What message are you trying to send to your audiences?

NL-I would say my message would be, the best way to peace,
joy, freedom and reaching your dreams to develop a
relationship with the Lord.

UNI- Is there anything else you would like to say about your
experience performing at UNI?

NL- I am not professing to be the best artist but I work as
hard as I can, with hopes that the work I put out there will
be received and enjoyed. I had a great time, Thanks for
having me, we had a great turn out. Go Panthers!!:-)
