…Palestinian-American Jennifer Jajeh has just moved to to Tinseltown and is cooking up her creative plans. A little bit of commercial acting?  A dash of writing?  Maybe a sprig of producing.  No matter the results, this UCLA alum is committed to finding a path that will honor her unique perspective and pay the bills.  We talk about how success might draw the occasional death threat, how there’s really “no logic” in a career in the arts, and why she’s ready to be the next smart-ass, politically incorrect, browner-than-Oprah Oprah.

If I, a living witness, one who experienced those times, don’t speak about them, then others who did not experience or witness those times will invent their own version of them. - Anatoly Rybakov

Recorded in Jennifer’s living room, May 17, 2011.
