EMEM Washington

Emem Washington, is a two-time TEDx speaker and a multi-passionate creative entrepreneur with a passion for teaching, which has put her in the presence of diverse audiences, from K-12 students to law students; attorneys and corporate professionals to church congregations, as well as online audiences worldwide. She enjoys speaking on issues concerning women, youth and young adults and shares her own experience of overcoming adversities to encourage and empower her "tribe" to live out fully alive and purpose-filled lives. She has a soft spot for the often overlooked or underestimated, including children from disadvantaged backgrounds and single mothers.

With a B.S in Biology, a Juris Doctorate in Law and an LL.M in Intellectual Property and Information Law, Emem never imagined that she would become an entrepreneur. She preferred the campus life over the corporate life and never thought there was a place for her in entrepreneurship. She still remains a "serial academic" and loves teaching, and learning, a wide variety of topics.

Emem combines her experiences, legal training and her voice (singing, writing and speaking) to inspire and support other visionaries to reach their fullest potential. Her advice and counsel have been sought after for many years.

Her projects include her contemporary debut album, "Rebirth” and a 7-day corresponding devotional of same name. She is the author of several books, including “Rise From The Shadows: Overcome Your Past, Reclaim Your Voice, Live Your Light.”

Emem is happily married to Cedrick Washington and is the proud mom of 2 sons. When she is not teaching, researching or leading worship, Emem enjoys spending time with her family, reading and listening to podcasts and music. To get to know her more, visit her virtual home at www.ememwashington.com.
