Nikia Bye is an entrepreneur, public speaker, consultant, advocate, and life and business coach who values dedication, service, and excellence. She works with families, individuals, and organizations to amplify their communication, connection and confidence so they can make an intentional, influential impact in their lives and community.

Nikia’s passion for consulting and advocating, started when her journey as a mother of a son diagnosis with intellectual disabilities began. Her passion was fueled with an unrelenting desire to make sure her son received the best resources and services needed for his overall development and wellbeing. Nikia’s dedication, hard work, and determination to being her son’s voice, inspired her to empower other special needs parents to use their voice, listen to their hearts, and maximize their potential. This led to her founding and operating, Trusted Parents, a nonprofit organization that provide supportive service, awareness, and advocacy to parents of children living with special healthcare needs. She also proudly serves as the Chair of Family Support Network™ NC Executive Council Committee, which has over 40 years serving families of children living with disabilities. Additionally, Nikia co-owns Bye Enterprise a coaching and consulting firm that provides exceptional services to those looking to attain a life of new perspectives and greater fulfillment.

Nikia delivers exceptional expertise to areas of disability rights and advocacy, business development, women empowerment, and personal growth by sharing relevant, engaging, and personal experiences with her audience. She has been invited to speak at the NC Department of Health and Human Services, UNC Charlotte, UNC Chapel Hill, Duke University and several other events, organizations, churches, and companies around the state of North Carolina.
