Meet Shonda Lou — writer, director, and creator behind J.C.E
Shonda Lou co-founded JCE with her cousin, Devin, a few years ago with a shared vision: to create powerful stage plays, films, and productions where actors, performers, and creatives could see their dreams come to life. Together, they wanted to build more than entertainment — they wanted to create opportunities, inspire storytelling, and bring passionate artists together under one vision.
Unfortunately, Devin later gained his wings, but his passion and belief in the dream continue to live through every production. In honor of him, Shonda remains committed to building Jus Cuz Entertainment into a platform where creativity thrives and talent is celebrated.
Known for blending emotion, mystery, comedy, and real-life storytelling into her work, Shonda creates productions that not only entertain audiences but also give artists a space to grow, shine, and walk confidently in their purpose.
Her personal motto is:
“Because I’m walking in my purpose, people are able to activate their gifts.”
