Episode 13
On this episode of Diversity Matters, co-hosts Judy Seidenstein and Richard Friend discuss theatre, comedy and performance as tools for giving voice to inclusion with monologist and comedienne Jennifer Lanier. As a performance artist, Jennifer Lanier brings her multiple talents to entertain and educate audiences about race, sexual orientation, gender and other dimensions of diversity. As a tail-end baby-boomer Jennifer Lanier's melting pot is a humorous blend of racial, gay-straight, and gender identity with a pinch of family drama thrown in for seasoning. Using her own voice as an out multi-cultural (American Indian & African American) lesbian, Jennifer performs and teaches for companies, universities, schools, faculty groups, prisons and children as young as three! Her one woman show “None of the Above” was described by the New York Times as a "flash of beauty and inspiration … a rollicking monologue."
