Jenette Jurczyk

Jenette Jurczyk is The National Director of The She Said Project, where she produces live shows called “That’s What She Said.” Jurczyk believes that everyone has a story that can impact the world, and she shares her theatre talents to empower real women to find their voice and share their stories live on stage.  

Under Jurczyk’s vision, “That’s What She Said” has expanded beyond its flagship community of Champaign-Urbana into a dozen cities, with many more on the horizon. 

Jurczyk is also the producer and co-host of The She Said Project Podcast and created the youth empowerment program, “That’s What Teens Say.” Through her company, Key Light Consulting, Jurczyk is a nationally recognized motivational speaker.  

She has a BFA and MBA from the University of Illinois and worked in New York and Los Angeles as a performer, director, and producer, before building a life in Champaign with her rocket scientist husband and two young daughters. 

She is an avid volunteer and has served on numerous boards, such as the Junior League of Champaign-Urbana and Executive Club of Champaign County. She serves as President of The Family Room, the nonprofit she co-founded to provide resources and comfort to foster children and families in her community.

In 2024, Jenette Jurczyk was recognized as Nexstar Media Group’s “Remarkable Woman” from Champaign-Urbana, and shared her story onstage in TEDx Normal.
