Je’niece McCullough Had a Troubled Childhood

She was born on March 21, 1978, in Chicago to Bernie ‘Mac’ McCullough and Rhonda MacCullough. Though her father portrayed the role of a strict but loving uncle who was never married nor had kids on the Bernie Mac Show, in real life, Je’niece was his only daughter.

Like his strict Tv character, Je’niece’s childhood was filled with some of this strictness. The 45-year-old woman revealed that the relationship between her and her father was semi-verbal abusive due to the harsh words he used on her. He is said to have used words such as soft and weak on her. As a result, she walked on eggshells around the comedy king and actor.

Aside from becoming anxious about her father’s behavior, Je’niece decided to start keeping a journal to deal with it.

Regarding her education, Je’niece attended Morgan Park High School and graduated in 1995. After graduating high school, she enrolled at the Xavier University of Louisiana to study Psychology. It is not clear whether she chose this field of study due to the issues of her childhood, nonetheless, she completed her studies in 2000. Moving forward, she continued with her educational pursuit by enrolling for a master’s degree in the same institution. Upon completion of her program in 2002, she earned a master’s in Mental Health Counseling.

The Xavier University Alum Started her Career as a Case Manager

According to her LinkedIn profile, Je’niece chose a career in line with her educational training after graduating from school. She took her first job with the New Orleans criminal justice court where she handled drug cases for clients within the legal system. In the course of her work which lasted between October 2002 and August 2003, she served as a link between the court and the clients she handled.

Per the same source, she joined the South Suburban council, an Illinois-based organization that deals with the treatment and support of those suffering from alcoholism and substance abuse. She joined the program in 2003 as a counselor, case manager, and vocational trainer. While the work provided her with an opportunity to practice what she had learned in school, she left the following year.

For her next role, Je’niece became a personal assistant at MacMan Enterprises Inc, a management organization that also handled her father’s career. Between 2004 and 2008 when she worked there, it brought her close to her father’s career. Though she did not appear with him on screen, she worked behind the scene by taking roles such as managing his calendar and travel plans.

Je’Niece also Worked as Vice President at her Father’s Foundation

Considering how closely she worked to make her father’s career a success, it is not surprising that she took a management spot in his foundation. Je’niece worked as the Vice president of the Bernie Mac Foundation for Sarcoidosis.

While there she ran the foundation together with her mom to raise awareness of the disease as well as raise funding.
