The Jennifer Project

In the next few weeks, I'll be searching the internet for interesting ordinary people named Jennifer.

-

I already have one woman in mind; I don't know her, but when I was doing a search for my Famous Jennifers blog, I ran across her website, and my first thought was, "Dang, I'd rather feature someone like her than a famous Jennifer." I'll be emailing her soon because I absolutely do not want to post anything about a stranger without her permission.

-

By the way, I don't have anything against celebrities, but their lives have already been thoroughly dissected, so it's difficult to add anything new to the pool of knowledge.

-

If you happen to find this blog, and your name is Jennifer (or you know a Jennifer), email me and tell me a little about yourself or your Jennifer (with her permission, of course). A url to your website and attached photo would be good (but nothing x-rated, please). You can also add a comment here.

-

I'm particularly interested in Jennifers, of any age, who are doing or have done extraordinary deeds and making a positive difference in this world. It doesn't matter if you're a janitor or CEO of a Fortune 500 company.

-

Yes, the photo in this post is me; I tried searching the web for a photo of an ordinary-looking woman, but it felt funny to snatch something off the web and fob it off as a Jennifer.

-

The only thing extraordinary about my photograph (other than its obvious Adobe manipulation): I took the picture of myself. I needed a photograph of myself fast--I no longer remember why--and I was home alone.

-

I like the original version because it looks like me.

If you want to know a little about me (before committing yourself to this project), check out my home page Jennifer Semple Siegel.
