Audience Response
Jennifer is an outstanding and moving speaker that touched the very deepest part of my heart. Thank you very much.
-Jane Wehunt
When I taught drama, I told my students to make sure to move their audience to laughter, tears and, of course, leave them with something to think about. Jennifer does it all! Plan to attend a Jennifer O’Neill event and see a love story unfold between a woman and her Lord as Jennifer makes herself transparent before your eyes.
-Iris Wainright,

Jennifer, your life included so many incidents that many of us have grown up with and struggled with. I believe every woman at the event was able to identify on some level, which is why youre so powerful as a speaker.
