In 1992, she received the Passages Community Service Award for 20 years of service in the Baltimore and Washington lesbian communities. Raised in Knoxville, TN, Jennie is grateful to have returned home to the Appalachians, where she volunteers with the Carolina Mountains Literary Festival, the NAACP, Dig In! Yancey community garden, MY Neighbors eldercare network, and Celo Friends Meeting. A Tai Chi instructor, she teaches Qigong and Tai Chi in the Toe River Valley. Her poetry chapbook, Where I Live: Coming Home to the Southern Mountains, was published by Finishing Line Press in 2018, and her poetry has appeared in several North Carolina periodicals. When she is not writing or weaving, she's hiking mountain trails, weeding out back in the garden, or curled up reading with Lily the cat.weniger sehen
