WHAT TO EXPECT
“Emma is a character!” That’s what everybody says that has ever spent any time around her and heard her talk. Her witty, sarcastic, and hilarious banter is sure to leave you laughing and entertained while she educates you on her difficult conditions. She is known for her slogan “Am I on glue?” which means WHAT THE HECK to the rest of us and she uses it when she talks tough topics. Despite her intersex reveal, she’s a conservative Christian who wants to end the hatred and fighting between everyone when it comes to sexual preferences, sexual identity and the world
Emma was born a true intersex, 46 XX Chromosome (CAH), meaning she has ambiguous private parts that makes her appear male and female, while internally she’s all female. She will take you down the road growing up with a women’s mind, soul and heart while trying to the play the part of a male she was chosen to be. She will take you through her bullying, abuse, and hardships and how she balanced the bridge of left vs. right and Christian vs. Non Christian. It’s a story of inspiration and hope. Emma has no problem calling out things that are flat out not true, bad behavior in the LGBTQ community. She is also a proponent to protect the children from trans and non-binary indoctrination/transitioning.

PROFESSIONAL SPEAKING BIO
Emma rose to fame with her art, in 2009 she created a portrait called “Death To Yesterday” which quickly became a hot topic across the United States then into China and Romania. Her ghostly style shocked and intrigued viewers because she infused urban decay, steampunk, gothic, and horror styles into one portrait to create a conversation.
She has always been behind the camera and not just a photographic one. In 2006 she started to work with a internationally touring rock band “16 Second Stare” and did most of their videography. In doing so she worked her way up to a co-band manager. She got to collaborate with Jesse James Dupree of Jackyl, Saigon Kick, KC and the Sunshine Band, Rob Zombie, Korn, Ace Frehley of Kiss and more. In 2010 she got to work on stage video taping the band during their Crue Fest 2 tour where they opened for Motley Crue, Cold, Seven Dust and a few other top ranking heavy metal and rock bands.
In 2012 Emma got out of the industry for a while and worked on copyrighting for a PR company that worked with people of all aspects of life. While working here she realized she had a story to tell so others in the art industry would have that too so she started her nationally syndicated radio show “The AME Radio Show”, which ran from 2012 till today. After COVID the art, music and entertainment theme took a hit so to keep the story going she molded it to feature stories of great accomplishments overcoming life’s challenges; that also caused the show to be rebranded as “It’s Emma’s World”. She has talked with some of the entertainment’s biggest names recording over 200 celebrity interviews. Her show became a go to outlet for coverage with Lifetime, Hallmark Channel, and Discovery.
In 2020 she assumed ownership of AMFM247 Broadcasting a syndicated radio station and she continues to grow the brand with top shows and prime FM locations from coast to coast.
Outside of work, Emma was diagnosed with MS in 2014 leaving her with some mobility difficulties which she’s overcoming. In 1996 she found out she was intersex, 46 XX Chromosome CAH intersex is her diagnosis. Today she’s passionate about educating the world about the rare condition and being an advocate for intersex people everywhere.
In October 2023 Emma was honored by the city of Stamford, CT in her birth state as the city raised the intersex flag for the 1st time in state history for the recognition of Intersex Awareness. She is the first honoree in the city’s history; an honor she will treasure for life.
