Professional filmmaker and founder of 90 Degrees: The Origin Nikki Brianne

Professional Bio — Nikki Brianne


Early Inspiration

Nikki Brianne’s entrepreneurial journey began with a desire not just for success. She wanted to provide for her family while maintaining independence. Her aha moment came early in life, sitting in the chair of her godmother, a master hair stylist. Every Saturday, clients would sit for hours. She sculpted each head of hair like a clay bust. Every strand was perfectly placed. Every curl and marcel iron sound was part of the symphony.

One day, Nikki’s hair had been damaged from chemicals, broken and lifeless. As her godmother cut, relaxed, and curled her hair, Nikki watched in the mirror as despair transformed into brilliance. She didn’t even recognize herself — and in that moment, she realized the power of transformation. She understood that what seemed broken or “bad” was just unsculpted. She wanted to create that shift in energy for others repeatedly. That moment sparked her vision to build a business. She aimed to deliver empowerment, confidence, and transformation. This was the beginning of her path toward independence and entrepreneurship.


Building Lochemy

Early in Atlanta, Nikki created the Lochemy method, a preventative and holistic approach to natural hair care. Inspired by both her own experiences and observing clients’ struggles, she realized hair challenges often mirrored deeper health imbalances. One client, a close friend diagnosed with cancer at 40, sparked deeper reflection. Despite her advice on natural healing and fasting, the friend resisted. This experience pushed Nikki to fully commit to her own path of natural methods and healing principles.

From there, Nikki perfected the Lochemy method, using universal laws to create symmetry and balance in clients’ locs. A memorable breakthrough came when working with a young client whose locs were difficult to maintain. Over six hours, Nikki guided him to take ownership of his hair, fostering confidence and pride. This inspired her to develop an animated online course. The course teaches children about loc care and the power of Lochemy. It encourages parents and children to grow together in knowledge and empowerment.

Storytelling and Film making

Nikki’s desire for creative independence led her to Full Sail University, where she studied Digital Cinematography. She mastered storytelling techniques and combined her passion for media with entrepreneurial vision. In 2012, she published a book, followed by her first novel in 2013, exploring manifestation and universal laws. These principles became central to her film making philosophy.

Nikki extended her vision online with I AM LOCS. She also managed over 13 domains. Each domain serves as a branch of her Million Dollar Plan. The plan supports other entrepreneurs with:

  • Media creation

Alaska & Cross-Country Journey

A pivotal chapter in Nikki’s life unfolded in Alaska with her partner. Their first hike in Hatcher Pass was breathtaking and challenging. They encountered icy slopes, fresh snow, and frozen ponds. These conditions tested their endurance and gratitude. The sunset over the Rockies, glaciers, and the Great Salt Lake inspired awe and reverence, deepening her appreciation for creation. Every moment, from Athabasca Falls in Canada to the American Rockies, reinforced the interconnectedness of life and creativity. These experiences fueled her vision for film making and entrepreneurship.

The trip through the Rockies was outstanding.
