Nicole’s father - Clarence Avant - is known as the Black Godfather and her mother Jacqueline Avant - a philanthropist and community pillar. They opened their Beverly Hills home to an incredible array of impactful figures of both the 20th and 21st century including Sidney Poitier, Quincy Jones, Oprah Winfrey.
Then the unthinkable happened. Nicole's mother was fatally shot in that home. In her book "Think You'll Be Happy" Nicole takes us with her in the hours, the days, the weeks and months since that day.
