    Upon hearing Jennifer speak, I recommended her to present at TED X.  Her message is powerful and touching.  She is authentic and transparent in her story yet empowers, inspires and motivates those who experience her story.

    Make Lemon Ade represents perseverance, survival, resilience, strength and tenacity through adversity.  This story encourages people to be courageous focus on the results of victory rather than surrender to paralysis and fear.
