Jeanice is building with intention at every stage of her business.

A Harlem native, Jeanice joined Custom Collaborative’s Cohort 3 when she was at a crossroads, looking for ways to support her young daughter.

Fast forward to today, and Jeanice is mother to a pre-teen with her own brand, FOUR CEES, which sells sustainable wool handbags, T-shirts, and leather accessories. Over nearly eight years, Jeanice has worked consistently with the Business Incubator, gaining guidance on pricing, marketing, and distributor relations, while connecting her with clients and retail opportunities.

She routinely sells her “I Am” handbags at CC pop-up shops, including exclusive employee marketplaces at PVH and Saks Global, and cultural events like ENVSN fest. Her designs have been featured in Vogue Business and Essence Magazine.

"Custom Collaborative was my foot in the door … I already had the passion, but they gave me the skills." — Jeanice, Cohort 3
