C. Nicole Mason (born 1976, Los Angeles, California) is an American author, columnist and researcher. She is the founding director of Future Foward Women, a legislative exchange and policy network at the New York Women's Foundation; and formerly a lecturer in the women's studies department at Georgetown University.
Her research work focuses on the impact of the intersections of race, class, and gender. At the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, she coined the term ‘Shecession’ to describe the unbalanced impact of the employment and income losses on women.
In 2016, she authored Born Bright: A Young Girl’s Journey from Nothing to Something in America, a book chronicling her childhood in California to her acceptance at Howard University. Mason was named as one of the 'World's 50 Greatest Leaders' by Fortune.
