691 Valerie Emanuel: Beautiful Disruption

Why Authentic Social Impact Branding is the Future

When you look at a supermodel in a glossy magazine or on your Instagram feed, what do you think and feel? We all know the impact mostly unattainable beauty standards can have on the self-image of girls and women, and it’s a beautiful thing to see more diverse women and body shapes start to grace screens of all shapes and sizes.

Now there is a fast-emerging new trend: the demand for models who wear authentic activism on their sleeves and dare to speak their intelligent minds.

Valerie Emanuel started out as a model as a child and has seen firsthand why an antiquated and at times abusive industry must change – for the models themselves, and for everyone else.

Valerie co-founded Role Models Management as a way to empower models to find their voices and step into their power – all while representing a roster of talent dedicated to positive change in the world.

Today she shares how her agency is disrupting the industry and why brands are seeking diverse role models to endorse social impact missions.
