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

Hi Jerrica, is there a quote or affirmation that’s meaningful to you?
“We bend baby, we don’t break!” It’s actually a quote my ma says all the time and I just roll with it. This quote has gotten me through some tough times. When I hear or read it, I think no matter how hard it may get or how bent out of shape things get I won’t break! I’m resilient. I’ll recover!

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
My name is Jerrica A. I’m the owner and operator of Earring Kulture LLC and Kultured AF. by Earring Kulture! Earring Kulture was launched February 24, 2020 with the hopes of bringing dope earrings to both men and women! In April/May of 2020 I added more accessories; purses, backpacks, belts, bracelets and more! Kultured AF. is the clothing side to Earring Kulture. I’ve had so much fun with accessories, I wanted to do the same with clothing. It’s truly a blessing to be able to do the things you enjoy! Both brands are unique, bold and Kultured of course. A lot of what I offer is handmade by me. It means a lot to me when I purchase is made because it means that someone sees my vision and trusts me enough to support my brand. It hasn’t been easy but it’s definitely rewarding. I’ve had set backs that only made me want to go harder (how Kultured AF came about)! I pray in the future to expand both brands and to ultimately become a household name worldwide.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Jonesboro, AR We’d definitely go to the park, Craighead Forrest Park is one of my favorite spots! The scenery for this area is unmatched. I get a lot of inspiration when I go there. Skinny J’s is downtown. They have really great dip! I’ve been dying to try a lot of other local restaurants downtown and this would be the prefect time. We’d probably go to one or two a day! I love a good drink from Olive Garden/Red Lobster so that’s always a plus with the vanilla bean cheesecake (don’t forget the strawberries)!!! Night life we would have to travel to Memphis, TN but it would be well worth the drive. I’m also a pretty good cook! Can’t go wrong with a good night in. Great food, friends and movies

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?
My twin sister, Jessica! My first best friend. She’s has without a doubt supported me the whole way through. She reposts, she gives me ideas, takes pictures in merchandise, orders, etc. She’s bought me things for my business that I can honestly use, which is big to me!
