Juliet Romeo
Juliet Romeo’s story is not scripted-it’s survived, surrendered, and spiritually led. In Women in Leadership - The Anthology, Vol. 3, Juliet delivers a cinematic, soul-shaking memoir that takes readers from the sterile walls of hospital rooms to the vibrant stages of international film festivals. Diagnosed with sickle cell disease at just six months old, Juliet was told she wouldn’t live past her teens. But against every prognosis, every institutional barrier, and every internal battle, she rose-not just to live but to lead. In Unscripted: A Life in Motion, Juliet chronicles her journey through pain, purpose, and power-recounting how childhood hospital stays shaped her storytelling gift, how grief became fuel for advocacy, and how faith became her fiercest weapon. With the tenacity of a disruptor and the heart of a healer, she takes us behind the scenes of what real leadership looks like: unfiltered, unmasked, and unstoppable. Juliet is now a celebrated filmmaker, writer, and founder of Unstoppable-an accessibility initiative birthed from a desire to make the film industry more inclusive for disabled creatives. Her work has premiered on PBS, led her to Google headquarters, and shifted global conversations around disability, access, and authentic representation. But beyond the titles and accolades, Juliet remains the girl in the hospital bed who refused to be counted out. This is more than a chapter-it’s a movement. A legacy. A masterclass in living boldly, leading loudly, and never asking permission to be exactly who you are. Juliet Romeo is not just a woman in leadership. She’s a whole production.
