Magician, Culture Leader & Social Entrepreneur; Founder of Reclamation Ventures & Anti-Racism Daily; Forbes 30 Under 30 Honoree
Nicole Cardoza Biography
Nicole Cardoza is a magician, equity activist, and culture leader whose work bridges stage magic and social justice. Cardoza integrates creative illusions with the history and future of Black and female magicians, using magic to help audiences visualize new possibilities. As a Black queer woman, Cardoza explores societal binaries and the concept of Black Girl Magic, aiming to reclaim and highlight narratives often overlooked in the magic community. She has been a public speaker for more than a decade, collaborating with organizations such as Google, Patreon, and Soho House, and performing at universities, corporate events, and private venues.
Cardoza's hour-long show, "Revival," performed at Brooklyn Museum, is a narrative-driven production that combines stage magic with storytelling, focusing on the underacknowledged history of Black and women magicians. Recognizing the lack of diversity in traditional magic kits, Cardoza created "Magically Me," a magic kit and mobile app that teaches children ages 6 to 12 stage magic and social-emotional learning, encouraging inclusivity in the craft.
Outside of performance, Cardoza is a social entrepreneur. As founder of Reclamation Ventures and the Reclamation Ventures Fund, she established a venture studio and movement dedicated to supporting projects that address the wellness gap and expand access to health and wellness resources. Through these initiatives, Cardoza has distributed more than $600,000 in non-equity grants to individuals working to make wellness more accessible. She also founded Anti-Racism Daily, a media platform with a large subscriber and social following, raising over $2 million to support anti-racism efforts. Cardoza leads the Banned Books Book Club, promoting the freedom to read and celebrating diverse narratives.
Earlier in her career, Cardoza founded Yoga Foster, a nonprofit providing teachers with yoga resources, mindfulness training, and self-care tools for classrooms nationwide. Cardoza has been recognized by Forbes, Well+Good, and Wanderlust for her influence in wellness and routinely speaks on social impact, equity, and health at institutions such as Aspen Institute, Harvard University, and Fortune 500 companies including Nike and lululemon. She is a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree and a Well+Good Changemaker, and has appeared in Nike's Spring Nike Yoga campaign. Through her work in stage magic, wellness, and social entrepreneurship, Cardoza demonstrates the transformative power of magic and equity-driven initiatives.
