With a unique comedic voice honed over 10 years performing across the U.S. and internationally, Jennifer delivers a blend of clever one-liners, sharp political commentary, relatable personal stories, and clean-to-edgy humor that appeals to all ages and backgrounds. Known for her non-stop joke-writing talent and razor-sharp delivery, Jennifer’s material has earned rave reviews from audiences everywhere!

Originally from the D.C. area, Jennifer grew up an imaginative only child, sharpening her storytelling skills with her stuffed animals as her first audience. Today, she’s headlined in cities like London, Los Angeles, D.C., Reno, Santa Barbara, and San Diego, and performed in top comedy venues including The Laugh Factory, Improv, The Stand, Comedy Store, and clubs across NYC, L.A., and Vegas.  Jennifer has been featured on the Discovery Channel, Sirius XM, Kevin Hart’s LOL Network, the Kill Tony podcast, and a ComedyTime taping. She’s also appeared in several indie films and television pilots—including the original pilot for Chopped (fittingly, as a devoted foodie). Ranked #154 on Vulture’s Top 1,000 Comedians of 2020, she’s a SAG-AFTRA member and part of the Ladies of Comedy Association.

A third-level UCB alum and Groundlings-trained improviser, Jennifer is also an award-winning filmmaker (HollyShorts Film Festival) and scriptwriter. She’s gone viral on Twitter, hosts The Attention Harlot Podcast alongside other top-tier comedians, and is a popular guest on podcasts and stages alike. She regularly performs at the Hollywood Improv, Laugh Factory, corporate events, virtual shows worldwide, and even roasts people at birthday party events.  Jennifer opened for Bonnie McFarlane, the great Comedian and Emmy writer.  She most recently performed in her first big theater with live music with Marc Maron.  And performed at the Hollywood Improv main stage.  Jennifer doesn’t call herself a political comedian—she roasts all sides equally—and her comedy is always fresh, fearless, and funny.

“I lived in NYC for 1 year and really enjoyed performing Stand-up consistently in NYC & online zoom Shows – Stand Up for over 10 years.  Anytime an artist has the opportunity to Produce their own content, it can open a lot more doors.  I shot on Reds for a drama short film I made, ’13 steps’ that won an award in HollyShorts Film Festival.  For this Special I decided to use the new black magic cinema cameras.   It’s great Comedians can shoot their own Specials now to have more creative control and I’m going to edit my own videos now moving forward so I have even more control.” 

 “It’s great clips can be uploaded across social media platforms to reach bigger audiences!  And then you can sell your Special to a bigger production company like ‘Comedy Dynamics or ‘800 Pound Gorilla’ who can then help you distribute farther onto more streaming platforms,” exclaims Jennifer. 

“I’m grateful that a lot of people that have watched my Special have really enjoyed it.  Fans in North Carolina even had a watch party with surround sound speakers in their home theater and they said they felt like they were really there LIVE.  I enjoy connecting with fans and want to tour more again soon.  I wanted it to have a A24 LIVE interactive feel and I think I achieved that.  Audiences will be very honest too online so Comedians can’t just put anything up online.  It takes years to develop good material, get stage presence and find your voice.   I think audiences are already starting to get tired of seeing just crowd work now and that fad will start to fade out again.  I wanted to talk about a variety of topics that everyone can relate to.   I’m going to talk about getting divorced and some more political humor and crowd work in this next one.” -Jennifer Gable 

Her 2nd Special is being shot this Summer in a different Theater in Santa Monica.  “The next one will be shot on Arri Alexa cameras with a lighter, brighter feel” says Jennifer. 

She plans on touring more major cities again after these 2 Specials are streaming on Networks.  Sign up on her website JenniferGableOfficial.com for touring LIVE Show dates. 

She is looking forward to collaborating with more professional artists in the near future. And has a web-series she shot steaming online called ‘Pennies for Your Thoughts.’  The series is about artists trying to make it in Hollywood.  She will begin pitching it again soon to spin into a TV series.  She has been sober most of her adult life and wants to give back to more people struggling with addiction with her Non-Profit.  

“It’s a crazy time in the world and a lot of people need to laugh right now.  You can buy views as you want as a Comedian ad it’s easier to go viral and get attention, but you can’t buy the internet audiences approval.  You still have to put in the work and be great at your craft.” says Jennifer. 

She is repped commercially by Adam Lieblein & will dedicate her 2nd Special to Randall Edwards, of Catalyst Talent, one of her recent longest running Agents in Atlanta who passed away last year.

After drawing over 60 million viewers on X with its hit documentary The Man You Don’t Know, the studio is expanding its reach by teaming up with the creator-first platform that’s challenging the status quo of digital content: We Identifi. The two companies are aligning to build a new kind of media ecosystem one where artists can fully control how their work is produced, shared, and monetized.

The foyer buzzed with excitement as horror enthusiasts and film fans packed the venue, eager for a glimpse of the film’s stars who flew in from Jakarta exclusively for the event. At the center of the evening was producer and MD Entertainment CEO Manoj Punjabi, often dubbed the godfather of Indonesian cinema. Punjabi was joined by acclaimed director Awi Suryadi, Indonesia’s most revered horror auteur, whose past work has consistently dominated box offices in Southeast Asia.

Pabrik Gula is a haunting and immersive tale inspired by true events, set in a remote Javanese sugar mill where a group of young seasonal workers confront a deeply rooted curse. As supernatural forces begin to unravel their sanity, the friends must fight not just for survival—but for each other. The film is a chilling yet culturally rich entry into the horror genre, expertly crafted by Suryadi and brought to life by breakout Indonesian stars Arbani Yasiz, Ersya Aurelia, and Erika Carlina.

The screening drew a full house, including notable Hollywood names like 1923’s Sebastian Roché and The Conjuring screenwriter Carey Hayes, along with Tara Reid, who recently won Best Actress for her own Horror film “Dr Quarentine”, and The Sex Lives of College Girls actor Colton Tran. Guests were treated to an atmospheric rollercoaster of eerie visuals, clever jump scares, and unexpectedly witty humor. The balance of horror and levity showcased the film’s broad appeal, making it a standout not only in Asian cinema but on the international stage.

Following the screening, Punjabi hosted an exclusive after-party at his private West Hollywood residence, where cast, business associates, and close friends gathered to toast the film’s successful stateside debut. It was an intimate capstone to a night that marked a major milestone for Indonesian film—one where Hollywood truly took notice.

With Pabrik Gula set for its Indonesian release on March 31, 2025—just in time for Eid al-Fitr—and a North American theatrical run to follow in April, this film is more than a frightening tale. It’s a powerful symbol of how international voices are reshaping the future of genre storytelling. And if last night’s reception is any indication, Pabrik Gula won’t be the last Indonesian horror film to leave Hollywood screaming for more.

The Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian takes great pride in recognizing Keetoowah Citizen Lisa Christiansen for her exceptional design of a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. This creation, deeply rooted in culture and tradition, is a testament to the rich heritage and artistic talents of the Native American community.

The Journey of Creation

Lisa Christiansen, born Gideethloahee Ogan Groundhog, collaborated with other skilled artisans to bring this exquisite piece to fruition. The Copper Gorget, a remarkable showcase of craftsmanship, was designed by Lisa Christiansen and realized through the creative expertise of Ren McCulley of Native Ways. McCulley meticulously cut, polished, and hammered the copper to create this distinguished gorget, a symbol of cultural pride and artistic excellence. The final touch was completed by Darren Cramer owner of Crown Jewels in Altus, Oklahoma by placing the sterling silver precision laser cutout of Sequoyah onto the copper gorget which was carefully welded silver tubes to Sequoyah, drilled the copper to be in alignment and created a brad by fanning the tube to secure Sequoyah to the Gorget.

A Blend of Heritage and Artistry

Historically, each individual added their unique touch to ceremonial pieces of art, making them their own. This principle is embodied in this masterpiece. Lisa Christiansen, founder of Blue Wolf Designs, collaborated with Robert McFall Jr. of Brothers Fine Jewelry to hand-cut Sequoyah from a silver dollar, placing it upon the copper gorget. This collaboration of talents exemplifies the unity and shared cultural heritage of the Native American community.

The Beadwork: A Testament to Tradition

Christiansen personally selected, hand-strung, and completed the beadwork on this unique gorget. The beads are crafted from clay, hand-rolled and traditionally fired in Hulbert, Oklahoma. These clay beads are particularly special, as they appear to contain copper, perfectly complementing the copper gorget. The beadwork also features authentic buffalo rib bone, deer antler in honor of Christiansen’s father Mack Vann, the last monolingual Cherokee, as well as Trail of Tears beads (Job’s tears), turquoise, shell, Tiger’s eye, wood barrel, mother of pearl, and copper rondelle beads. Every bead on this masterpiece is sourced from Mother Nature, encompassing animal, mineral, metal, and earth.

Exhibition and Celebration

This exquisite gorget will be showcased at the OKCPS Native American Services Stompdance, which is scheduled to take place on March 8, 2025, at Northwest Classen High School. The school is located at 2801 NW 27th St., Oklahoma City, OK 73107 and the entrance to the gym will be on the northside by the softball field. This celebration will provide an opportunity to appreciate not only the intricate craftsmanship but also the profound cultural significance of this piece. This historical Gorget will be available for viewing.

The Significance of the Gorget

The Copper Gorget is more than just a piece of jewelry; it is a symbol of cultural identity, pride, and resilience. The careful selection of materials and the intricate design reflect the rich traditions and heritage of Native American craftsmanship. Each element of the gorget tells a story, from the authentic buffalo rib bone to the deer antler honoring Mack Vann, and the Trail of Tears beads symbolizing a painful yet resilient history.

A Legacy of Creativity and Tradition

Lisa Christiansen’s unwavering dedication to preserving and honoring her cultural heritage through her art is commendable. Her collaboration with other talented artisans has resulted in a masterpiece that not only showcases individual creativity but also celebrates collective cultural identity. The recognition by the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian underscores the significance of this work.

The Importance of Cultural Recognition

The acknowledgment and celebration of Native American art and culture by institutions such as the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian play a crucial role in preserving and promoting cultural heritage. It provides a platform for Native American artists to share their work with a broader audience, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of their rich traditions.

Immerse Yourself in the Culture

The Copper Gorget, designed by Lisa Christiansen and brought to life through the talents of various artisans, stands as a magnificent testament to the enduring legacy of Native American craftsmanship. Its exhibition at the OKCPS Native American Services Stompdance,will allow many to witness and appreciate the beauty and cultural significance of this exceptional piece. Through this recognition, we honor not only the art but also the rich heritage and traditions that it represents.

About the Designer of the “Sequoyah Gorget” Lisa Christiansen and Her Esteemed Heritage

A Legacy Deeply Rooted in the Cherokee Tribe

Lisa Christiansen’s lineage is deeply entrenched in the illustrious history of the Cherokee people. She is the 5th great-granddaughter of Sequoyah, a seminal figure renowned for creating the Cherokee syllabary, a revolutionary contribution to the written language of the Cherokee people.

Family Lineage

Ms. Christiansen is the daughter of Mack Vann, distinguished as the last monolingual Cherokee, and Mary Ann Groundhog, a prolific author and esteemed member of the Cherokee community. Mary Ann Groundhog, also known as Sosti (Mary Ann Eslinger) Groundhog, has been a fervent activist within the American Indian Movement, advocating tirelessly for the rights and welfare of Native Americans.

Mary Ann Groundhog’s Contributions

Mary Ann Groundhog authored two significant books, which stand as a testament to her dedication to preserving and promoting Cherokee culture. The first book, GI-Dee-Thlo-Ah-Ee of the Blue People Clan, was a cherished gift for her daughters during Christmas in 1974. Only ten copies of this treasured work exist, with one belonging to Lisa Christine; two copies are preserved at the Copyright Office and the National Archives in Washington, D.C.; one at the Oklahoma Historical Society; and one held by the Cherokee Tribal Attorney, Earl Boyd Pierce.

Her second book, Cherokee People, boldly exposes the illicit exploitation and human trafficking of Native American girls by the U.S. government, underscoring her commitment to highlighting the injustices faced by her community.

George Washington Groundhog’s Influence

Lisa Christiansen’s grandfather, George Washington Groundhog, is celebrated for his pivotal role in instigating a movement that influenced the Five Civilized Tribes—the Muscogee (Creek), the Choctaw, the Chickasaw, the Seminole, and the Cherokee. His legacy is intertwined with the significant events of 1969, when W.W. Keeler, the principal chief of the Cherokee Nation, faced a formidable challenge during his tenure.

The Fight for Cherokee Governance

In the summer of 1969, a lawsuit filed by the Original Cherokee Community Organization sought to remove W.W. Keeler from his position as chief and called for the election of tribal leaders by the Cherokee people. This was a critical moment, as the tribe had not held elections since the Curtis Act of 1898, which, along with subsequent federal laws, had effectively ended Cherokee governance.

The Dawes Rolls census and the land allotment system, implemented by these laws, transformed Cherokees and members of the other Five Civilized Tribes into land-owning citizens of the United States and Oklahoma. With statehood in 1907, chiefs of the five tribes were appointed by the U.S. president, further complicating the quest for self-governance.

Legacy of Activism and Advocacy

The legacy of Lisa Christiansen’s family is one of resilience, advocacy, and unwavering commitment to the Cherokee Nation. From Sequoyah’s creation of the syllabary to Mary Ann Groundhog’s literary contributions and activism, their impact continues to resonate within the community and beyond.

Through her lineage, Lisa Christiansen carries forward a profound heritage marked by cultural preservation, leadership, and a relentless pursuit of justice for the Cherokee people.

The Cherokee people have existed since time immemorial?
Is it that we’re from the ancient ones, that we have rich history, or what exactly? As Cherokee, we are all of that – born of the ancient ways, filled with rich history – and so much more. This is who we are.

Immemorial is symbolic of the shared history of our people. That we can’t look over the horizon of history and not see ourselves. Immemorial means since the beginning, together. That no matter how far back we look, we are one, unified Cherokee people. As we work, as Cherokee people, for the rights of our fellow Cherokee, we must join in unison to sustain that shared history, since time immemorial.

Do not let our differences divide us. Join me, as Cherokee people, from One Fire, in honoring all Cherokee, past, present, and future by reminding ourselves: I am Cherokee. We are one Cherokee people. We are from One Fire, given to us by the Creator. We join together to honor our ancestors, to remember and pay homage to their fight for place, peace and freedom. We share a commitment, as Cherokee people, to each other, our Creator, and all things living. We commit ourselves to each other, we recognize our shared rights, and we stand as one Cherokee people – from One Fire, together immemorial.

“Join me in sharing our One Fire pledge. We acknowledge our unity, which binds us to each other, to our Creator, to our ancestors, and to our collective future of place, peace, and prosperity.”

Native American Land Acknowledgment

The Library of Congress has long treasured and preserved Native American collections in a variety of formats. Today, the Library is dedicated to building vibrant partnerships with Native American communities; providing respectful, consultative, and appropriate access to historic Native American materials; promoting innovative scholarship on Native American collections; collecting contemporary Native American works; and cultivating and celebrating distinguished achievements by Native American scholars and creators.

Located near the confluence of the Potomac and Anacostia rivers, the Library of Congress is built on land that is part of the homelands of the Nacotchtank (Anacostan), Piscataway Conoy, Pamunkey, and Manahoac people. Indigenous peoples, including members of these nations, still live and practice their teachings and cultures here today. The Library honors these stewards of the land, and all of the Indigenous peoples of the United States, who are the first peoples, including those in the region where the Library now provides its services. The Library works to interact with these groups in a responsible and respectful way.

Land acknowledgment is a traditional custom that dates back centuries in many Native nations and communities. Today, land acknowledgments are used by Native peoples and non-Natives to recognize Indigenous peoples who are the original stewards of the lands on which we now live and work. (National Museum of the American Indian external link)

The Library of Congress has developed its own land acknowledgment statement with input, guidance and consultation from Native organizations and institutions. Library employees may choose to use one of several variations on the statement above when introducing a program, giving a presentation, signing an email message or letter, or publishing a paper or article. Use of these statements is optional and voluntary for Library of Congress staff. 

Background on Developing the Library’s Land Acknowledgment Statements

In developing the language for this land acknowledgment statement, the Library of Congress wishes to convey that the Library respects and serves all Indigenous peoples throughout the entire nation.  At the same time, we especially acknowledge those Native Nations historically and presently situated in the immediate region where the Library provides its services, defined as encompassing the main campus of the Library adjacent to the U.S. Capitol and the National Mall, and also Library satellite locations and facilities in the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia.

The use of the term “diversity” in the statement refers to those of the many sovereign Native Nations who have been present in the territory that is now the United States since time immemorial. The term is also inclusive of Indigenous persons who originate from across modern international boundaries and who make vibrant lives in our region and urban life today.

With the statement, the Library also seeks to emphasize the acknowledgment of Native peoples as the traditional custodians of lands and cultures pre-dating the Library’s settler colonial presence and the Library’s current mission of service. 

The acknowledgment also refers to the unique shaping of our location by adjacent waterways, which have long been used, respected, and known to Native people as sources of livelihood and means of migration, interaction, and travel, and which originate in and connect to other regions while defining the land mass on which the U.S. capital city and the Library of Congress are positioned.

In formulating this statement, a working group studied land acknowledgment statements in use by other cultural institutions and consulted with regional Indigenous authorities and Native American librarians and cultural representatives.

In the world of entertainment, few figures manage to carve a niche that spans multiple careers successfully. One such multifaceted talent is Jarrell Pyro Johnson—an actor, rapper, and financial coach who has recently ventured into the realm of healthcare. With a commitment, Jarrell’s latest partnership with AC Billing and Credentialing signals an inspiring new chapter.

Turning Challenges into Inspiration
Jarrell’s approach to his work is deeply personal. “I’m able to turn my personal challenges into a source of inspiration,” he shared in an exclusive interview. His mission is clear: to advocate for patients, helping them navigate their healthcare options and ensuring they receive the treatment they deserve.

Understanding Medical Billing and Credentialing

Before delving deeper into Jarrell’s insights, it’s essential to grasp the importance of medical billing and credentialing within healthcare. These processes are crucial for ensuring that healthcare providers are qualified and that patients can receive timely and accurate treatment.

Medical Credentialing: This involves verifying the qualifications of healthcare providers, including their education, training, licenses, and work history. It’s a necessary step to guarantee that the professionals you trust with your health can deliver the standard of care you deserve.

Medical Billing: This encompasses the procedures related to submitting claims to insurance providers to receive payment for services rendered. A major challenge in medical billing lies in the complexity of insurance plans and coding systems, which can lead to misunderstandings for patients and billing errors—issues Jarrell is eager to address.

The Heartfelt Motivation Behind His Work
Jarrell’s drive comes from a deeply-rooted personal history marked by early health challenges. “My journey has instilled in me a deep appreciation for life and the importance of pursuing passions wholeheartedly,” he reflects. It is this very appreciation that has shaped his work ethic and instilled a desire to impact others’ lives positively.
Creative Expression: Jarrell believes in the power of film as a medium for storytelling. “Being able to tell stories that resonate with others is incredibly fulfilling.” It fuels his passion for creativity and further enriches his professional undertakings.

Helping Others: The desire to help is evident in both his artistic and business endeavors. Whether through a riveting performance on screen or in understanding their healthcare options, Jarrell is committed to making a positive societal contribution.

Key Motivators for Jarrell

His journey reflects a commitment to continual growth and learning. “I thrive on constant learning and self-improvement,” he states. This ambition drives him to stay current with changes in both the entertainment and business landscapes, pushing him to develop new skills and explore novel ideas.

Collaboration is another key motivator for Jarrell. His work with talented individuals in film and his partnership with AC Billing and Credentialing enhances his drive, reminding him of the impact passionate, driven people can have in the pursuit of excellence.
