About the Founder
& CEO
TAMICE NAMAE SPENCER
Tamice Namae Spencer graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2006 with a Bachelor’s degree in Religious Studies and Advertising. She has since been in full-time ministry, serving hundreds of young adults and college students.
Tamice co-founded of the Kingdom Collaborative, an Atlanta-based collective of likeminded HBCU campus ministry practitioners. While serving on full-time staff with Intervarsity Christian Fellowship as the Associate Area Director of HBCU Planting & Strategy, she planted ministries at six HBCU campuses in the southeast, including Spelman College, Morehouse College, and Clark Atlanta University.
Tamice is a thought-leader in her generation on matters related to ministry to African American college students, Hip-Hop and urban apologetics, cultural exegesis, effective campus engagement, racial reconciliation, and New Testament studies.
She has coined the term “cultural archeopology” to describe her theological work and contributions. One who excavates treasure in places no one would dare to look for God and uses what she finds to give a defense for the hope found in the gospel of Christ.
Tamice holds two master's degrees; one in Evangelism and Leadership from Wheaton College and the other in Theology from Fuller Seminary. Tamice has decided to turn her years of education and ministry leadership into a non-profit organization.
Sub: Culture Incorporated was created with students on the margins in mind and a longing to see them holistically cared for while on campus.

COLLABORATION (CAMPUS, CHURCH & COMMUNITY)
Our organizational decisions, resources, and endeavors are informed by proximity to the university campus, partnership in the community and a desire to collaborate with the local body of believers.
