The singer, model, and actor Grace Beverly Jones (b. 1948) has been celebrated throughout her decades-long career for her dynamic performances. But it is her still images, overwhelmingly inflected by white male artists like designer Jean-Paul Goude, which have remained most widely recognizable. This chapter examines Jones’s 2015 autobiography I’ll Never Write My Memoirs to discern the ways in which it resists the persistent notion that the iconic Grace Jones is the creation of others. Countering the narrative as outlined in Goude’s own early autobiography Jungle Fever (1981), Jones reveals the collaborative ontology of her image and celebrity while maintaining crucial ownership of her identity. Jones repeats a simple yet significant demand to be recognized as human, a recognition she extends to others in an effective discursive strategy that promotes a shared humanity.
