notes
2006 Just Plain Folks Award nominee
2006 OUTMUSIC Award nominee for ‘best album in the inspirational category'
"an artist known for flexing her free-speech muscles on everything from domestic policies to gender politics"
-artvoice
"exactly what we're all thinking but are hesitant to say"
-The Examiner
"[Jen/ed] is simply riveting: confident, poised, charismatic, emotional, funny, sarcastic, sincere. She reminds everyone in the room that spoken word is a performance art... of how powerful poetry can be when it’s done right. I would eagerly pay to see this woman perform again, and I hope I get that opportunity soon."
-Jim Testa, Jersey Beat Magazine
