JEN THE PEN
Where did you grow up?
I was born in Brooklyn,
but the majority of my life
was spent growing up in
Staten Island.
What is your # 1
motivation?
Now that I’m a mother I
would automatically say
Caiden, before Caiden
my motivation was the
idea of one day coming
into people’s lives wheth er
it was via radio or some
form of television.
How was your nick name
“The Pen” coined?
Jen the Pen was born in
2005 when I appeared on
Dame Dash’s reality show
“The Ultimate Hustler” . During
filming he said I literally wrote
everything down, and that he
was gonna call me “Jen the
Pen”

Does media pressure
ever cause you to rethink
your dream of becoming
a renowned radio
personality?
Absolutely not. I believe
I’m a completely
grounded person , I know
where I stand and I know
where I am headed.
If not media, what other
career would you pursue?
Entertainment had
been my dream since I
was a little girl ( running
around my dads house
pretending to be a
talk show host while he
recorded me with his
1985 video recorder)
Entertainment has always
been the pursuit.
What projects are you
currently working on?
My swap and shop events
throughout NYC, more
television opportunities
and I would honestly love
to team up with a baby
product line in the near
future.
