We had the good fortune of connecting with Jenice Owens and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jenice, what do you attribute your success to?
The most important factor behind the success of my brand is God. All my life I made decisions in my own will and failed every time. This time I wanted to be led by the Lord and put him first in ALL of my endeavors. Making that decision changed everything for me in a great way.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I am an overall creative person with so many ideas that I aspire and am currently bringing to life. My first love is music and songwriting, but I ended up extending my talents and am now an author of two children’s books. My first is the critically acclaimed “Coco Brown” which highlights a young girls journey of self discovery. This happens to be my personal story on how I came to embrace the melaninated skin God gave me. My second book is titled, “I Am” which is a book of affirmations for children and adults alike backed with scripture.

I am also an owner of two businesses. From the Heart Entertainment LLC is an artist development company that specializes in assisting up and coming artist break into the industry. Providing the guidance and tools necessary to start on the right path of longevity and success in their creative journey. My second company is Eyes Haven’t Seen Wear LLC (EHS Wear) which is an up coming eyewear line launching summer 2021.

I have been through many trials on this journey and by the grace of God I’ve overcome. I am proud of myself for not giving up, even though there were numerous times I wanted to. It has not been easy but through these experiences we grow. I’ve learned that if you put God first everything will align in its rightful place.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
The DFW area is a true gem and there’s so many things to get into. I would definitely take them downtown and around the Deep Ellum area. The Dallas World Aquarium and Art Museum. I love the big chain restaurants but I prefer family restaurants. They’re the best and there’s so many small businesses with great food and service that I would take out of towners to.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I would like to shoutout all of my family, friends and supporters for believing in my vision. My business partners for staying loyal and motivating me to keep going. Most of all my son for being my why.
