Entertainment Attorney, Actress, Producer, Author, Founder & Artistic Director, Mack Performing Arts Collective
Entertainment Attorney Jalene M. Mack will not be overlooked when it comes to African-American women emerging as leaders to the national forefront. Mack is not only an entertainment attorney but also a successful integrator of the demanding roles of wife, mother, playwright, producer, writer and actress. She is currently starring in the UMC Network Houston drama TV series “5th Ward” as Wanda Kennedy. She also founded Mack Performing Arts Collective (MPAC), a performing and visual arts nonprofit and wrote the book The Business of Stage, Screen & in Between: Entertainment Attorney Jalene Mack’s Practical Advice for Performers, Playwrights & Filmmakers. Mack credits her successful career to keeping the focus on her long-term goal “to make an impact on the entertainment industry.”
Although born in Kansas City, Missouri, Jalene was raised from the age of seven in New Orleans where her sense of “involvement and participation” was established and nurtured through collective community celebration of culture and the arts. Educated through the Catholic school system and immersed in dance and theater from childhood, Mack developed a deep-rooted passion for the arts with an emphasis on education early in life.
In 1990, Mack received a bachelor’s degree in political science with a minor in mass communication from Xavier University of New Orleans. In 1993, she also went on to receive her juris doctorate from Thurgood Marshall School of Law at Texas Southern University and was admitted to the bar thereafter. Since relocating in 1990, Mack resides in Sugar Land with her husband, Jermayn Mack and their two children, Sydney and Justin, and runs The Law Office of Jalene M. Mack. Mack is also a proud member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority. Inc
