Nicosia King
“You have to have passion for people and care about their needs.”
Nicosia King started a business early in childhood, at age 12, making money braiding hair. She eventually went on to obtain her cosmetology license. Today, at age 39, Nicosia is a mother of four and owner-operator of multiple Southeast Wisconsin businesses under the name of Golden Path. She established Golden Path Senior Living in 2010, an adult family home providing 24-hour room/board with care and supervision, followed by Golden Path Home Care in 2013 (with three other office locations) providing customized lifestyle services. A Dump Trucking service, GP Trucking, was established in 2016, receiving DBE Certification in 2019 for Wisconsin and Arizona, and has provided services to area projects like FISERV Forum in downtown Milwaukee. Ms. King also has several other businesses under her belt, such as contracting, real estate, and licenses for CBRF training and certifications. Nicosia started in agriculture in 2019 and opened a retail storefront name Euphoria Wellness Boutique, providing Hemp/CBD. She furthered her journey in agriculture in Oklahoma and became a farmer focusing on Organic Aquaponics.
In 2019, Nicosia was nominated and selected as one of Milwaukee Business Journal's 40 under 40 and graduated from Scale-Up Milwaukee's Growth Accelerator Program-Cohort 6. In addition, she was featured as a Women of Distinction in 2020 by Milwaukee Magazine.
In late 2020, Ms. King's continued community outreach and passion for empowering others had her rocking the mic with an authentic, stylish podcast, "GP After Dark." Nicosia has started a coaching and consulting company in 2021 called Lady Legacies to help others become entrepreneurs and create generational wealth for their families to build legacies.
