What is a Perpetual Autobiographer?
Being a “perpetual autobiographer” means you are always writing your story. A perpetual autobiographer™ wields their pen and never relinquishes it. I know very personally that other people will try to write your story for you. Some have even created a script for your life based on your socioeconomic status, zip code, race, gender, education level, and physical features, to name a few things. A perpetual autobiographer™ understands the power of writing their next chapters and knows the best chapters of their lives have yet to be written.
There is power in writing our own stories.
“The best gift I’ve ever given myself was harnessing the power of writing my own story and not allowing others to write it for me.”
– Geneviéve Jones-Wright
My Story
Empower-Mentor. Visionary. Perpetual Autobiographer.
I decided as a fourth grader that I would go to Howard University School of Law to follow in the footsteps of Justice Thurgood Marshall. My mother, who raised me as a single parent in a low-income home, nurtured my dreams and nourished them as if they were her own.
Because of her unyielding support and God’s faithfulness — and despite what other people had already scripted for my life — I not only became the very first person in my family to attend a four-year university but I went on to study internationally and earn three degrees in higher education: a B.A. (University of San Francisco), J.D. (Howard University School of Law), and LL.M. (California Western School of Law).
Today, I am not only a celebrated attorney but also an accomplished social entrepreneur. My career has been defined by stepping out in courage to address and confront systemic issues head-on. From running for public office to working for systemic change as an executive director of a non-profit I founded, I have consistently moved beyond comfort zones to answer the call of leadership.
As a perpetual autobiographer™ — a term I coined — I wield the power of my pen to author my own life story every day. My life is a testament to defying odds, crushing stereotypes, and living as the changemaker I was destined to be. I don’t just live life; I shape it to offer hope and pathways for others who dare to dream big and act boldly.
