Born in Taipei to an American mother and a Taiwanese father, Nichols entered the world with an extremely rare form of deafness. Doctors told her parents she would never be able to speak. In an ironic twist of fate, Alana is now the host of an international television show. In the program 'Follow Alana', she introduces the diverse sceneries, lifestyles, cultures and cuisines of various captivating environments all the while encouraging the audience to build a loving and sustainable relationship with the environment wherever they go. Through humor, positivity, and determination, Alana hopes to leave the audience with a healthy dose of inspiration and learning. Through her series, Alana aspires to use television as a vehicle to tell stories and be a catalyst for positive change. She is an internationally sought-after speaker, having spoken across the globe, most recently addressing the World Health Organization on issues relating to deafness and hearing care. The show is currently broadcasted on television in Taiwan, Singapore, and China and can also be found on various platforms online including 'mini-episodes' on YouTube.
