Hatcher, who lives in Florida, has made a name for herself with Feverish, an aptly named line of gourmet ice cream trucks that cater to the state’s warm-weather residents year-round.

Equipped with eco-friendly trucks and carts, the company make stops all over South Florida nightclubs, festivals, and anywhere they can find a group of people. They are able to give patrons their choice of dozens of flavors of vegan-friendly, organic treats of the frozen variety.
Before ice cream and Nintendo, Felecia coached high school students on getting into college.
