Episode Synopsis
A multi-platinum songwriter who combines humor, wisdom and inspiration with soaring vocals and acoustic arrangements to give her audiences a “faith-lift.” Jana is the founder of Together For Good Worldwide and Refugee Film School as well as the co-founder of Together We Can Change the World.

To help girls without access to school, she and her professional speaking colleague, Scott Friedman, co-founded an international 501c3 called Together We Can Change the World, www.TWCCTW.com , with more than 15 projects in 5 countries to empower disadvantaged women and girls with education and job skills. She now lives in Bali, Indonesia, where she performs her music and humor.
