Malica is the Founder & CEO of Grand Ri5ing LLC, an intentional apparel brand built on a simple belief: clothing should be worn like remembrance, soft against the skin, fierce in its intention, carrying both our history and our certainty wherever we go.
Her foundation includes thirty years in the music industry: co-creating Rihanna's "Pon De Replay," vocal features on Trina's Amazing album and Farruko's "Chillax," and collaborations released across streaming platforms with artists including Sly & Robbie, Tanya Stephens, Nicki Minaj, Trina, Lady Saw, Beenie Man, and Pressure Busspipe. She also co-wrote songs for Nailah Blackman, including "Sweet & Loco." But that world was a difficult teacher. She didn't know the business of music, and so much of that space stayed complicated by design. Becoming a CEO gave her a clarity she never found in those rooms, and she built Grand Ri5ing to operate the way music never did: with intention, transparency, and care.
As an intentional CEO, she curates experiences that help her clients feel seen and celebrated in their own journey, and that help them honor themselves fully. Her teaching method is her own walk: she shares what she's learning as she's living it.
As a recovering "strong one," she understands exactly why being a Serenity Engineer and an Architect of Atmosphere matters, and she builds the tools to help other women find that same steadiness, through The Sanctuary (ROOTED N RI5ING), her women's wellness community, and the Give Her Flowers podcast.
