Speaker Hall of Fame Inspirational Humorist

Bring your women’s health event to life with inspirational women’s health humorist Jane Jenkins Herlong. There are a lot of performers who make people laugh, and there are a lot of speakers who give audiences solid principles for living. Jane does both. And she adds pizzazz to her presentations with her award-winning singing.

A recent inductee into the prestigious Speaker Hall of Fame, Jane is one of the 232 men and women to be awarded this honor including former U.S. President Ronald Reagan and General Colin L. Powell. Jane also has achieved the distinction of Certified Speaker Professional by the National Speakers Association. She is also a Sirius XM humorist, Amazon best-selling/award-winning author and professional singer.

Jane’s keen sense of humor evolved from being labeled Dyslexic and constantly told, “You can’t do that!” Jane changed the word NO to NEXT and the rest is what dreams are made of. Audiences learn the healing power of humor when handling negative people and circumstances for more productive, positive living. Jane delivers a simple message that she lives every day…“prove people wrong and laugh while living your dreams.”

Jane’s latest book, Bury Me with My Pearls is an Amazon best-seller and was awarded the Gold Medal in the Illumination Book Awards. Her award-winning singing and humor is featured on Sirius XM Radio and Pandora Internet Radio along with Jeff Foxworthy, Ray Romano and Jerry Seinfeld. She criss-crosses the country sharing her “down-home principles delivered with uptown humor.” Jane has also spoken in New Zealand and Germany and is fluent in four languages: English, Southern, Northern and Lowcountry Gullah (gul-la).

With a sense of humor and smart work, Jane traveled from the rows of her family farm to the runway of the Miss America Pageant all the way to performing at Radio City Music Hall. She graduated from college with the highest honors voted by her peers and continued on to graduate school. Her successes continued to pile up from there. Jane has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with several noteworthy people such as General Colin Powell, Rudolph Giuliana and the late Charlton Heston.

Simon & Shuster Publishing House says of Jane: “Jane Jenkins Herlong’s blend of Southern humor and folksy wisdom is just priceless. She deserves to be right up there with Anita Renfroe and Chonda Pierce — in some ways, she’s even better. The more suburban and bland our culture gets, the more precious genuine Southern culture like this becomes.”

“Jane’s presentations are a blend of Chonda Pierce and a female version of Jeff Foxworthy…” Today’s American Woman
