Amelie Karam, who has been on stage since childhood, loves performing. She especially loves how performing presents the opportunity to both tell a story previously unheard as well as give a fresh perspective, possibly one never before considered. This passion led Amelie to becoming an international Millennial speaker and consultant.
After studying at the University of Arkansas, Richmond University in London, and finishing her degree in Performance and Film Studies from Loyola University in New Orleans, Amelie Karam recognized that people in her Gen Y age group, known as “Millennials,” view the world differently than do previous generations. The great divide between Baby Boomers, Gen X, and Gen Y piqued Amelie’s interest.
