Janice Lawrence-Clarke is the President and Creative Director of JLC PRoductions, a fashion presentation company, a sought-after host and MC, and Founder of CAFE - Caribbean American Fashion Exchange™, a program aimed at joining fashion design talent and U.S. markets, and through which she has established the CAFE™ Scholarship Fund at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), New York. The CAFE™ Scholarship is to be distributed to two students who live in the Caribbean to study at FIT. She is a narration actress, social justice activation facilitator for high school students, and sits on the boards of Black Fashion World Foundation and the Women of Concern Professionals & Strategic Conscious Networking. With a firm belief in economic empowerment through cultural development, Janice has set about promoting the platform of Caribbean fashion through a series of events and activities that include the panel discussion on the topic What is Caribbean Fashion? which was presented at the Fashion Institute of Technology, New York City, before a packed audience, and led to the Caribbeans in Fashion Meet&Greet held during New York Fashion Week. Other activities include Caribbean culture presentations such as Third Tuesday CAFE Fashion & Culture Salon, and The Mas in Fashion – A Fashion Parade, the longest Fashion Parade in the World on Brooklyn's Eastern Parkway during the West Indian American Day Carnival Association's New York Caribbean Carnival on Labor Day.
