The Biography of Anika T. McClure
Ms. Anika T. McClure is multi-talented in many areas including, mass media, video & film, radio
broadcasting, business management, photography, graphics arts, modeling, and fashion.
Beginning her journey in 1986 into this world, even she would be amazed at all the possibilities she
would turn into reality and accomplishments.
Beginning to follow dreams in the field of medicine, Anika’s interest in the arts sparked when she
participated in the Spiral Workshop program at the University of Illinois in 2003. She was able to
display her talents through her work and this was when she had an idea that something was there
for her to begin to flourish and possibly to make into a career. Still going against her passion for
art, Anika was accepted into Chicago State University in 2004 and begin her journey in the pre-
medicine program. In 2005, she decided to switch majors over to Communications, and restarted
her journey in the arts.
Anika is a graduate from Chicago State University, Class of 2008, and has received the
Baccalaureate degree of Arts in Communications. She was heavily involved in academics as well
as campus life. She was a member of the National Dean’s List, received the Merit Award from
2007-2009 for the outstanding work as an undergraduate student in her communications
department, worked in the National Black Theatre Festival, executive board member of NAACP,
member of CSU Media Group and CSU Student Life, a model in Allure Models Group, and was
crowned Chicago State University 2008 Homecoming Queen. She is now a current member of the
Chicago Teachers College/Chicago State University Alumni Association.
In 2008, Anika came up with the idea to start a production company, Fusion Chilled Productions,
which did not move too far in the right direction, but stood at a stand-still. Still building a fan-base
and working on productions and live shows, Anika knew it was time for a change in the aid of a
better investment for the company. In the beginning of 2009, Anika changed the name of the
company to Pink Fusion Entertainment and continued to produce live shows. Pink Fusion
Entertainment is her stepping stone and she has grown the company into what it is today.
With mixing her knowledge in production and her modeling experience, her biggest show, which
was her first fashion show “ConGLAMOURate: The Fashion Affair” debuted in 2009 was her major
success story. With teaming up with several designers and models, and having many in
attendance, this was the event that marked history for Anika and for Pink Fusion Entertainment.
Anika has worked on film projects with many companies including Royal Caribbean, and has
produced many live and film and video productions as a college student and after graduating. She
enjoys print modeling and runway work and training runway models. She also enjoys writing in her
leisure time and looks forward to the future in producing her own literary works.
As she continues to work to fulfill all of her dreams in life, two of her most recent project she is
working on are “Pandemonium: A Fashion Affair” in September 2010, and a launch event for her
clothing line “Modernaire Clothing Company”, which will debut in early spring 2011.
