Today we’d like to introduce you to Maliyah Bass.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Rolled 4 Ever Ice Cream was found in June of 2018 by Maliyah Bass and Bariangela Segovia. It all begin with a spring break trip their junior year of college to New York City.

Expanding from a Food Truck to a Store was a challenge. When trying to receive funding, we were told no several times because we were “young” business owners or because our business wasn’t “mature” enough. With all of these factors, we were trying to expand in the midst of a pandemic, so it was risky.
