This site lists five of Nikki's poems and extensions that teachers can use in their classrooms to help students connect the poetry to their own lives.
In a video interview, Nikki shares her tough childhood and addresses the lack of representation of minority children in books and poetry, and her motivation for writing. There are several video clips, but I would just show the first two unless you are using a work that specifically connects to one of the other videos.
