Hello, I'm Jennifer – a lifelong storyteller with a knack for thinking outside the box. My storytelling journey began in the sixth grade when I decided to make a short film instead of giving a traditional book report. I've always been averse to standard presentations and consider myself a hands-on learner.

​

During that time, I rounded up my classmates and turned my grandparent's house into a movie set, where we reenacted key scenes from the book. The premiere was a hit, and that's when I realized my passion for storytelling and public speaking.

​

My late Grandfather, COL (ret) Bobby Moore, played a significant role in shaping my values. He taught me about loyalty, duty, respect, and more. I spent a lot of time with him and learned the importance of staying true to myself and my community. Growing up, I noticed a lack of representation for minorities in many areas, leading to untold stories. A workshop at Ted Turner Studios during high school inspired me to change that. I decided to create opportunities for underrepresented voices.

​

My career has taken me through various media roles. I created 'THE HUB,' my own multimedia network, and hosted shows like '106 & Aggie.' I've worked behind the scenes as a broadcast intern at WTVR-TV CBS 6 News, reported for DCTV Channel 23, and covered entertainment and lifestyle news for IOB-TV News. I've also contributed articles to 'The A&T Register,' hosted at WANM 90.5 Tallahassee, produced content at FAMU TV-20, managed media at Bumble Bizz, and even started my own fashion lines, 'Glow-Getter' and 'Black Creatives Matter.'

​

I've had the privilege of interviewing prominent figures like Kevin Wilson, Toosii, Morray, Young Bleu, Cynthia Bailey-Hill, Don Lemon, Elizabeth Warren, Roland Martin, and Angela Rye. These experiences have honed my leadership and communication skills.

​

My passion for storytelling extends to hosting. As the Social Producer and Editor for Blavity U, I curated content, conducted live interviews, and dove into data analytics to engage our Gen Z audience. I also created the 'HBCU Week' social campaign and 'The Future Is U' social series.

​

At Culture Fusion Agency, I refined my hosting skills while organizing events, interviewing celebrities, and covering album releases. I've also managed social media and contributed to PR efforts during music artist tours.

​

Beyond hosting, I deeply love writing and staying updated with emerging technologies. I'm pursuing a Master's in Journalism Innovation with a multimedia focus at Syracuse University. My coursework includes web and mobile story production, data-driven journalism, emerging media platforms, and content management. As I approach graduation in March, I'm excited about the endless possibilities to diversify narratives and use my digital journalism skills to highlight community-relevant events.

I'm Jennifer Rice, and I'm eager to bring my unique blend of storytelling, hosting, content creation, and editorial skills to your team.
