SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS
Aside from drawing comix, speaking with audiences is Jennifer’s favorite way to share the inspiration fueling her sassy yet searing graphic work. A late bloomer, a feminist, a breast cancer survivor, an artist who found her voice in mid-life, a Goddess still working on enlightenment, Jennifer brings her wit and uncommon sense to such topics as survivorship, creativity, and female empowerment. She has delivered lectures, spotlight interviews, and keynote speeches over the last decade to university students, art students, breast cancer organizations, women’s groups, and comix and literary audiences from California to New York City, Miami to Toronto, and London. Jennifer is equally comfortable delivering in-person presentations and conducting discussions virtually.
