About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6 !
Jennifer Edwards a.k.a. JEN/ed grew [up] in: a household polarized by an evangelical mother and an atheist father, a family infused with cancers, a small town silenced by television and new money, a country falling to sleep. By age 19 she was a mother. By age 22 she was an orphan. By age 23 she was a divorced-single-parent. Ten years later, Jen holds a BFA and an MFA from NYUs Tisch School of the Arts and has held the titles: company director, professor, Sister Spit slam-champion, Outmusic nominee, Yogi, Spiritual Active-ist.Her work has taken her: from dancing in the windows in Grand Central Station to the stages of Girlfest Hawaii, Mamapalooza, Queerstock, and Peace Out East, from a public awareness campaign, commissioned by the NCADD in New Jersey to facilitating spirituality and activism gatherings at American University, from teaching yoga and writing to women living with cancer to performing original performance art/ theater pieces across the country.Actor, Actualist, Artist, Choreographer, Dancer, Dyke, Fairy, Feminist, Free-Thinker, Goddess, Human, Lover, Lesbian, Majority, Minority, Mother, Myth, Only-Child, Orphan, Philosopher, Piscean, Poet, Queer, Realist, Reiki-Practitioner, Singer, Spiritualist, Spoken Word Artist, Story Teller, Student, Tantra-Practitioner, Teacher, Teen-Mom, Truth-seeker, Writer, Womyn, Yogi.
