Jane's life stories and humor leave audiences with the same message she lives- "prove people wrong and laugh while living your dreams."

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 also had the pleasure of sharing the stage with several noteworthy people such as Dr. Charles Stanley, the late General Colin Powell, Rudolph Giuliana, Lee Greenwood 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.
