About Me
The Roots
Mom. Poet. Emcee. Bridge Between Worlds.
I translate energy. I connect people. If you’re here, it’s on purpose.
Born in Yokosuka, Japan, raised across oceans and cultures, I’ve spent over 25 years building bridges—from military bases to global stages networking and connecting with people/cultures across 16 different countries. I’m an international spoken word artist, radio talent, event host, and the founder of Jenn from Japan, LLC.
I help people feel—seen, heard, connected. Whether I’m emceeing an open mic, curating a cannabis-friendly community event, or voicing a non profit or political campaign, my goal is always the same: spark authenticity and leave people better than I found them.
My path hasn’t been linear. I’ve lived through structure, rebellion, motherhood, incarceration, and reinvention. But through it all, I’ve learned to lead with presence. Now, I use my voice—literally and metaphorically—to inspire, hold space, and unbox truth.
I welcome all ages, all backgrounds, all vibes. If you’re building something rooted in realness, let’s talk.
