THE AUTHOR
BEA GIOVANNI
Bernice Rathe is Bea Giovanni's debut novel. Bea, however, is no stranger to writing. Bea has written scholarly articles on a variety of topics including international and domestic law, intellectual property, religion, innovation and business.
Before long, Bea took up fictional writing as a hobby. What started off as a hobby eventually led to this novel, Bernice Rathe, and a complimentary comic book series (based on the same novel), and a 10-volume children's book series addressing tough topics, called Ebony and Ella. Bea attributes this to her enjoyment in writing in a different voice and view, while bringing her words and imagination to life.
Bea Giovanni is a former government lawyer, where, prior to law, success in a multitude of areas started early in life including as a music child prodigy. Bea also served in numerous roles and careers including serving as a United Nations Delegate for a NGO, a mediator, an associate professor-lecturer as well as an assistant producer of a reality TV series. In a TEDx talk, speaking under her real name (Brandy G. Robinson), she also spoke about narrative writing and how she wrote Bernice Rathe as a creative depiction of her life story under the pen name of Bea Giovanni. The TEDx talk is entitled, "Your Narrative is Your Super Power." Click here to see the talk.
Despite her many achievements, Bea remains deeply humble, always attributing her accomplishments to hard work, her modest Southern roots, and the support of others. In her spare time, Bea loves connecting with family and friends, listening to music, and gaming on Nintendo Switch. She enjoys traveling—whether it’s international adventures, cruises, or road trips. Movie nights are a favorite, especially for superhero, action, and adventure flicks, and she can’t resist a good binge on Netflix. A fan of gummy bears, she also finds joy in volunteering, exploring food carts and new restaurants, and testing out the latest tech gadgets. Bea embraces spontaneity with what she calls her “spontaneous randomness,” always ready for fun and unexpected activities!
