“I have worked in the field of domestic and sexual violence for almost 24 years, and I have never seen a more powerful presentation on the impact of childhood sexual abuse than the one Jennifer has developed. She has a way of integrating art, multimedia and narrative to bring her audience from the depths of despair to the heights of hope. Jennifer not only shares her experience, but helps us feel the emotions of her journey to become a survivor. Her multi-media presentation, which incorporates personal photographs, artwork and the music of Linkin Park, is truly powerful and haunting. The raw emotion with which she presents held my attention and left me hanging on her every word. No matter who comprises the audience – male, female, survivor, ally, student, professional – Jennifer has the innate ability to connect with each person. All who attend Jennifer’s presentation leave knowing that they just witnessed something that they will never forget.”

"Jennifer's presentation was a personal, powerful presentation that takes the audience through her experiences and healing process. She captured the attention of the audience through her candid revelation of the abuse she endured and how she went through the process of coming to terms with it. I received feedback from a student who attended who said it was one of the best and most powerful presentations he had ever seen. The way that Jennifer incorporates powerpoint slides and music to tell her story is phenomenal. I felt that this was definitely one of the best presentations I have ever attended."

She takes you into the mind and heart of a sexual abuse survivor and compels you to experience the pain and complexities of this type of victimization. Despite the personal nature of her material, she presents herself without shame or guilt, while you travel with her on her journey from victim to survivor.”
