"Jennifer Lanier lived most of her life being someone she wasn't.
Growing up in Greensboro as a gay American Indian and African American, being who she was was not OK.
It was a message that was drilled into her brain continuously by her peers, by her family, by her culture. She was not black enough, not feminine enough, too brown or too muscular."

"Jennifer Lanier inhabited several personas in "None of the Above," her take on the agony and ecstasy of junior high romance; a
coming-of-age-story complicated by homosexuality and ethnicity. The
Hawaii-based actress was equally convincing, whether contorting her
body as she folded and refolded imaginary notes for the object of her
affection or transforming a stool into a La-Z-Boy recliner for the
straight-shooting Aunt Vera.
- Claudia La Rocco, Associated Press
"Lanier switches between these [characters] as easily as slipping off one pair of shoes and putting on another. Her impersonations are done without props, utilizing only body language and voice modulations to create distinctly recognizable characterizations that are often hilarious because they ring so true."
- Julie Mitchell, Hawaii Island Journal (December 1, 2005)
