About Janice
Janice DeCuir is the Emerging Market Specialist at Fifth Third Bank. Her background in real estate, banking, and finance spans 25 years. She is a founding member of the Kentucky Jump$tart chapter. She participated in the 2020 vision project that allocated funds to teachers for financial literacy instruction in the classroom. Recently, she has spearheaded the installation of Financial Fitness Fairs for graduate students at the University of Kentucky.
After separating from a 20-year marriage in 2001, Janice found herself relocating to another city with no money, family or support systems. By 2003, she was working 4 different jobs (including a paper route) in order to make ends meet. Having walked the difficult road to authenticity, she understands the true power people possess to design and manifest their own destiny.
By focusing on the essentials, she was not only able to meet her obligations but she was also able to support her daughter through college. Her daughter graduated sum cum laude, a year early… and debt free!
Janice is a contributing author to the Kentucky CPA Journal and has written and spoke on numerous financial literacy topics.
She and her partner processed an invention through the entire patent and production process. Their invention is coming to a store near you soon.
Her son Trevor and his partner and her daughter Jessica and her husband live in Louisville, Kentucky. Janice and her partner now own a home and live in Lexington, Kentucky. She can be reached at janice@queercents.com.
