Kristi Nichols has participated in and won many pageants throughout her life and has used her platform to minister in the inner city, prisons, and senior care centers for many years. Inspired by her faith, Nichols brings hope and encouragement to people with prayer, her presence, and her uplifting spoken word.

Nichols donates her time counseling breast cancer survivors and their families. She also provides volunteer counseling to income-challenged families who otherwise could not afford these services.

Nichols’ faith and trust in God are central to everything she does. Along with her strong faith, Nichols believes strong families are a key component in having the next generation equipped for leadership to be productive citizens.

Through her pageantry, teaching, and public speaking, Nichols reaches many married women and their families as she shares her faith and teaches biblical values and principles. Nichols’ pageantry has afforded her the opportunity to travel and speak throughout the country and internationally for charity and other events. Kristi has traveled to all 50 states and to 12 nations, using her faith, trusting God, and thinking outside the box for ministry opportunities.

Nichols is passionate about educating and equipping people on the importance of preserving freedom and understanding the U.S. Constitution. As a result of her efforts, many people she inspired have run for political office and continue to build their knowledge of accurate American history and understanding the Constitution. She inspires people to civic engagement. She is President of the Republican Women of Greater Kansas City. In 2016, Nichols ran for the U.S. Senate.

For Nichols, the USA is the best place in the world to live, next to Israel, and she says she will always be a Missouri gal. Nichols and her husband, David, are lifelong Missouri residents.
