BIO
Storyteller | Speaker | Humorist
Straddling the traditional and unconventional, Jenée’s stories can be cheeky while profoundly meaningful beneath the surface—like autostereogram art, which requires you to adjust your focus to see what is hidden within the otherwise nonsensical layers.
Tongue-in-cheek, Jenée expresses her inner monologues (most of which resound in her head in Dr. Seuss’s anapestic tetrameter cadence), rivaling the familial wit of Erma Bombeck and the subtle nuance of David Sedaris.
The only gay person in her 70+-person indoctrinated Irish Catholic clan, Jenée gets most of her subject matter from her family, where her enigmatic perspectives make her both an anomaly and a breath of fresh air.
Jenée has spent most of her career telling her clients’ stories. She is unearthing a lifetime of scribbling and scribing to bring her fresh perspectives to the page and the online stage.

That Hauntingly Beautiful Echo
The moment I am about to impart has left an indelible impression upon my heart and my psyche. Much of the reason this moment is ineradicable is that it entails an auditory and visual mix of stimuli that is, plainly, unforgettable, but also because it wasn't just my physical senses that responded to its happening; it was something deep within my DNA that resonated nostalgically, as if rippling throughout ages past.

Come All Ye Faithful
Every December when I return home to celebrate the birth of the baby Jewish boy born in a manger to a woman and a man who've supposedly never consummated their marriage, I encounter an equally balanced amount of piety and frivolity. My trips home are forever laden with moments that entail belly-laughter as well as incredulous bewilderment, most of which stem from interactions with my father.
