New Logo

(New Port Richey, FL – 12/18/24) – Emma Dowd, an independent  insurance agent in the State of Florida has taken one more step closer to becoming an active Insurance Agency in the State of Florida by creating her new company name “Emma Lynn Dowd Insurance” which is a D.B.A with Emma Lynn Dowd Enterprise, LLC.  The new name brought a new logo to identify her company.

This is a monumental step as the 1st of January 2025 quickly approaches, the date that her parent company officially becomes an active business in the State of Florida.  The plan is to launch the new business the first of the year, then apply to the state to become an licensed agency.  This plan is essential in her long term plan as it will allow her to bring in agents that have various insurance licenses to offer a broader line of products.

The new logo embodies Emma’s artistic side and her feminine nature while also creating a minimalist style logo.  Ones logo is one of the most important branding items a company can have, so it was important to embody Emma’s background and personality.

Emma Launches Her Venture Independent Insurance Agent

In September 2024 Emma became a newly licensed Insurance Agent in the State of Florida.  She managed to secure a job at a Life Insurance Agency in the Tampa Bay area that allowed her to learn the business in better detail focused on work site plans.  The road there was not easy because two days before she took her Florida Insurance License exam she faced with her family Hurricane Helene.  In an odd fashion a week later she braced for a direct hit with Hurricane Milton.

These hurricanes were the first of many obstacles that tried to stand in the way of her success in this new field but in doing so it planted the seed for her future, she just didn’t know it.  The hurricanes were only a tiny struggle compared to how she fought to be able to sell the insurance she was hired to do.

Finally the day before Halloween, she decided to officially leave the agency she was at and became a GA for herself.  November 1 she launched Emma Lynn Dowd Enterprise, LLC which is the parent company of Emma Lynn Dowd Insurance.  She chose to work for herself after working with a broker company that allows her to write for over 80 top rated companies in the world.  This broker firm added value to individual and group insurance and living benefit plans as they allowed annuities and other retirement planning solutions.

She sells primarily out of the Tampa Bay area, but she essentially covers the entire state of Florida.

Emma also does public speaking, life coaching and is a mobile notary.

Emma Honored in Birth State of Connecticut

(Tampa, FL – 10/26/23). October 26th is the official day of Intersex recognition around the world; which makes it fitting that the city of Stamford, CT had the states first Intersex Flag Raising Ceremony, and honor Emma Dowd in a new tradition.

Emma was born in Bristol Connecticut November 1, 1978. A new Connecticut native that would start her life with complications. Emma was born Intersex, 46 XX CAH to be exact. Emma was raised as a male by her family until she found out the truth in 1996, her junior year of high school. She would continue to live as a man despite the diagnosis and took testosterone to ensure it. However in 2019 a hit to the head would shake up her puberty gland and cut off her over production of testosterone allowing her true gender take over.

On the national intersex recognition day, the city of Stamford, CT decided to officially recognize the day with an intersex flag raising ceremony. Stamford became the first city and state to honor it over the official buildings. Mayor Caroline Simmons presided over the ceremony and recognized Emma on a video, and welcomed her Connecticut heritage. In turn, Emma became the first honoree in the state of Connecticut; fitting since her family which goes back to the late 1600s, established other cities like Guilford and took leadership roles there and statewide. Now she joins the tradition of making Connecticut history her family started 300 plus years prior.

I grew up reading about my family on the Dowd side and their contributions to the state and cities throughout the colony till the statehood of Connecticut. Knowing I could never fight for the United States to honor that legacy (health reasons), I never thought I could contribute to the states history – living in Florida didn’t help. Then this amazing opportunity came about and I found out I’m the first. It’s a complete HONOR to be recognized by my state and be a part of the states history – joining my ancestors who pioneered before me. It’s incredibly emotional and tears of joy flowed down my cheeks today. Thank you Mayor Simmons for this amazing opportunity, and to represent a condition we didn’t choose to have and help dissolve the stigma behind it.

After, Emma spoke on a training video series for the employees of NBC Uni on diversity, she represented the intersex part of the LGBTQ – an experience she’ll never forget.
