Jane Jenkins Herlong Biography
Jane Jenkins Herlong is an entertainer, author, professional speaker, and recording artist whose career spans the fields of humor, motivational speaking, and Southern storytelling. Herlong's journey began on her family's Lowcountry tomato farm and led to the Miss America Pageant stage and performances at Radio City Music Hall. She was crowned Miss South Carolina, and the confidence and poise she developed on that stage became the foundation for her career in public speaking, singing, and writing. Overcoming personal challenges, including dyslexia and bullying, Herlong transitioned from the tomato fields to national platforms.
Herlong is a SiriusXM humorist, international best-selling author, professional singer, and award-winning speaker. She is a member of the Speaker Hall of Fame, an honor shared with figures such as Ronald Reagan and Colin Powell. Herlong also holds the Certified Speaking Professional designation and has been inducted into the Legends of Speaking in Washington, D.C. She serves as executive vice chair of the board at Piedmont Technical College of South Carolina, is a former chair of the National Speakers Association Scholarship Committee, a foundation trustee at the National Speakers Association, and a Presidential Medal recipient.
Herlong combines humor, original Southern stories, and singing with life lessons that resonate with audiences in business, education, and healthcare. Her career includes performances at venues across the United States, New Zealand, and Germany, and she has shared the stage with individuals such as Charles Stanley, Colin Powell, Rudolph Giuliani, Lee Greenwood, and Charlton Heston. As a recording artist, Herlong has produced multiple CDs, including "Favorites," a Big Band, Gospel, and Broadway collection, and "The Spirit of Christmas," a CD of Christmas classics, along with live recordings of her comedy and speeches available on iTunes and Pandora.
Herlong is the author of five award-winning books, including "Sweet Tea Secrets from the Deep-Fried South: Sassy, Sacred, Southern Stories Filled with Hope and Humor," "Rhinestones on My Flip-Flops: Choosing Extravagant Joy in the Midst of Everyday Mess-Ups," "Bare Feet to High Heels: You Don't Have to Be a Beauty Queen to be a Beautiful Person," and "Bury Me with My Pearls: Humor with a Spiritual Twist." "Bury Me with My Pearls" earned the International Illumination Award and Christian Small Publisher Book of the Year. "Sweet Tea Secrets from the Deep-Fried South" is available nationwide and has been optioned for film adaptation.
Herlong continues to headline corporate conventions, perform "Sweet Tea Shows" in theaters, and reach audiences through SiriusXM broadcasts. She holds the designations of Certified Speaking Professional and Council of Peers Award for Excellence and advocates for the power of humor and storytelling to inspire achievement and mental wellness.

Harvest a bumper crop of life lessons and laughter as Jane delivers stories of success and hard lessons learned while working in her father’s tomato fields as a young girl. Discover how to find your own SHINE and PLOW through when your basket breaks with a perspective only a farm girl can deliver. Jane will fill your bucket with down-home stories that will make you laugh, but there is an underlying lesson of how to increase peak performance and for your ultimate harvest to grow personally and professionally.
Step into her hilarious world of big hair, plumped lips, and fashion-covered cat fights. From Betty Maple, who never met an injection she didn’t like, to Coleen Beauregard, who, bless her heart, should have re-thought a singing career, to Miss Sara Dean Jean Smith, who wants to change the world through breast awareness, you’ll meet the women who defined the world of Southern Beauty.
Beneath the laughter is a poignant message that runs deeper than the back-stage competitors. As you tumble through Jane’s back-stage antics, you find yourself standing in the moments of your own life: seeing your challenges in a whole new way, getting a fresh perspective on an old problem, and realizing that it’s never too late to find your way back to the spotlight because back stage wisdom is more than skin deep.
Through her own dysfunctional states in life, Jane empowers you to say “NO” to stress and “YES” to success. It is then you will find the “Funny in Dysfunction” to be able to function stress-free and laugh all the way to being your personal best!
