Lenice was born in Flint, Michigan and raised in Dayton, Ohio; a true Midwesterner. After graduating from Eastern Michigan University she moved to California and received her MBA from Golden Gate University. Her career spanned 18 years in the healthcare arena supporting older adults and families through the continuum of needed care. As a community-minded advocate and nonprofit leader, she continues to support underserved populations ensuring that those in need are served.
She is currently the Public Member for the Marin IJ Editorial Board, Advisory Council member and writer for North Bay Woman’s Magazine and Board Member for the San Rafael Chamber of Commerce. In between these various commitments, she is also a speaker and mentor for students in the Barowsky School of Business at Dominican University.
Lenice has a bi-racial son from her first marriage, who she guides through the pitfalls of race relations/racial challenges, ensuring he understands his value as a biracial child. In 2014, Lenice met her current partner, Franco Meoli, who has two sons. They are faced with all the normal challenges of raising three boys, along with navigating a blended family in a time fraught with racial tension in our country. Perhaps the best path to erase the lines of prejudice and ignorance is by dulling the lines of color into a blended palette of humanity…
