As Revlon's first curvy spokeswoman and the host of both TV shows and podcasts, Emme leverages these platforms to celebrate and promote messages of self-love and confidence on a national and global scale.

In a historic moment for the body positivity movement, Emme became the first celebrity invited to address a Congressional subcommittee in Washington, D.C., raising awareness about eating disorders, body image and self-esteem. Her influence has earned her numerous accolades, including twice being named to People Magazine’s "50 Most Beautiful People," recognition by Ladies’ Home Journal as one of the "Most Important Women in America," and being named by Oprah Magazine "The Godmother of the Full-Figured Industry" in 2018. She is also a TEDx speaker and has been honored as "Women of the Year" by Glamour Magazine and one of the "25 Most Influential Women" by Biography Magazine.

With three decades of experience, Emme is a highly sought-after consultant in media, marketing, healthcare, and retail, leveraging her expertise to promote positive body image, inclusive fitness, and wellness. Her thought leadership is widely recognized, with Emme frequently appearing in media outlets like the "Today" Show, CNN, "Good Morning America," FOX News, "Entertainment Tonight," and more. She is regularly interviewed on topics ranging from eating disorders and body image to fashion, beauty, and women’s health.

She has graced the covers of countless magazines, worked the runways of NYFW, and broken barriers as the first plus size model featured in major beauty and fashion campaigns. She has written five books and serves as a celebrity ambassador for the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA).

  • The good news is, the curriculum doesn't need to change just awareness for proper proportions, illustrations, designs, grades, tech fits, and pattern making - for extended sizes.
  • Happy to say a welcomed cultural mindset shift embracing fashion beyond the fashion elite is underfoot.
