2026 Province Prince and Princess

Genika Sophornia Green-Jupiter is an accomplished business leader and community advocate based in Gretna, Louisiana, just outside of New Orleans. She is the proud daughter of Geneva Green and Samual Zerainge. Raised in a faith-centered and service-minded household, Genika’s path has been shaped by a commitment to uplifting others, promoting education, and building strong communities.

A graduate of L.W. Higgins High School, Genika went on to earn a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a concentration in Sales and Marketing from Xavier University of Louisiana. She later completed her Master’s Degree in Business Management from Strayer University and is currently pursuing her Doctorate in Business Administration at Franklin University, where her research focuses on early childhood education and the integration of entrepreneurial learning to foster creativity, problem-solving, and adaptability in young children—a reflection of her passion for lifelong learning and leadership excellence. 

Genika is the founder and owner of 3G Service Group Construction and Executive Staffing Agency, LLC, a thriving business that provides construction and professional staffing solutions across the Greater New Orleans area. 

In 2020, Genika extended her impact by launching T.E.A.M. Jupiter, Inc., where she serves as Executive Director. This nonprofit organization is dedicated to empowering youth through educational, civic, and intercultural initiatives. Her driving philosophy—“investing in our future means investing in our youth, as they are our future”—guides every program, partnership, and opportunity she cultivates for the next generation.

A woman deeply rooted in faith, Genika is guided by one of her favorite scriptures, Isaiah 53:5:
"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."  This powerful verse is a reflection of her belief in grace, healing, and selfless service—principles that serve as the foundation of her personal and professional mission. 

Professionally, Genika serves as an Administrative Management Specialist IV-Grants with the Jefferson Community Action Program (JeffCAP) – Head Start Division, where she plays a vital role in grants, fiscal accountability, and strategic program development to support early childhood education throughout Jefferson Parish. 

 Genika is a proud and active member of the Phenomenal Woman Float of the Krewe of Athena Carnival Club, Inc. Mardi Gras Krewe, where she proudly exemplifies the organization’s four pillars: sisterhood, service, fellowship, and fun. She is also a dedicated member of the Divine Naamah Chapter No. 200, Order of the Eastern Star, under the Esther Grand Chapter, Prince Hall Affiliation, Louisiana Jurisdiction. Through her membership, she actively contributes to charitable initiatives and civic engagement efforts across the state of Louisiana.

From 2019 to 2024, Genika honorably served as a Princess Lieutenant and served as the 2024 and 2025 Princess Charge. Her leadership journey has been one of purpose, passion, and perseverance—indeed, a long time coming.

Beyond her professional and civic commitments, Genika’s heart is most fulfilled by her role as a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. She has been married to her Prince, Kernell Jupiter, Sr., for over ten years. Together, they are the proud parents of four children: Kernell Jr. and Ariel Jupiter (whom Genika lovingly embraces as her bonus children), as well as Gazmyne and Khloe. They are also the adoring grandparents of Konnor, Kenzie, and Kruz. Her family remains her greatest source of strength, inspiration, and joy. 

With unwavering faith, compassion, and purpose, Genika Green-Jupiter leads by example—empowering others, investing in the future, and leaving a lasting legacy of love, leadership, and service.
