ABOUT AMOUR GENESIS What started off as just a few local modeling jobs, quickly grew into a full-fledged media and lifestyle brand that has become Amour Genesis. Amour Genesis was created in February 2011 prior to her graduation from Loyola University with a Bachelor's degree in PR/Advertising and a minor in Marketing. Genesis Emery has always had a love of fashion, beauty and the French culture so she thought the name, "Amour Genesis" was certainly appropriate for her brand. Learning French in the 7th grade, Genesis is now fluent in the language and has visited the beautiful cities of Paris, Tours and Lyons, France and can't wait to go back. She has also recently traveled to Spain and Ghana and has plans to expand the company internationally in the near future. The brand is focused on beauty, fashion and lifestyle and also supporting women and teen girls by encouraging them to "Love Being Beautiful." Her focus is also on health and wellness where she is a brand ambassador for several products and even hosts health and wellness workshops for young women in hopes of encouraging them to live healthier, holistic, physically fit lifestyles. The company will carry its own beauty and health products soon, as well as a fashion line and other great ventures to come. Amour Genesis is currently the Spokesmodel for “She’s In Color,” where she represents the women’s empowerment campaign as the face of their mission and hosts their regular events. She was selected as a Brand Ambassador for numerous brands in the beauty, health and wellness industry. Amour Genesis has even hosted and produced her own show, "The Glamorous Life," where she interviewed some of Chicago's biggest fashion and beauty powerhouses, such as, socialite, Candace Jordan; fashion designer, Borris Powell; fashion show producer, Benjamin Cottrell; Omar Villalobos; designer, Gordana Rasic (Goca Designs) and even celebrities including: actress/comedian, Kim Coles; singer, Michelle Williams (formerly of Destiny’s Child); NBA Star, Dwayne Wade; the cast of the Style Network’s Chicagolicious and actress, Tika Sumpter. Genesis hit the ground running and has no plans to slow down anytime soon!

A personal message from Genesis A. Emery on what Amour Genesis means and what inspired her to launch this brand! I started the Amour Genesis brand because I wanted to launch a successful organization built on the principles of true inner beauty, self-confidence, and empowerment for women worldwide. When beginning my modeling/entertainment career, I asked myself, "What can I do for others? How can I better our global society through my work and interests? Those same thoughts inspired the creativity and launch of the "Amour Genesis" brand. Together my love for French culture and modern femininity, led to the much anticipated launch of "Amour Genesis," - a brand that I have expanded from a few Chicagoland modeling jobs to now a fully packaged enterprise built on the foundation of inspiring women to love being beautiful and confidently embracing who they are. Working with teens: My brand's mission is to inspire our future female leaders to continue to love themselves and be selfconfident despite the harsh, mixed messages that society portrays towards beauty, sexuality and image. My goal is to help these young women find who they really are and confidently know that they too are beautiful from the inside out. Regardless if the reflection in the mirror is the average girl next door, artistic "tom boy," or captain of the cheerleading team, I want them all to know and believe that they are beautiful. Bisous Bisous,
