About

You’re Mrs. Lebanon is a single-mom of 4, entrepreneur and
model.
Her parents came here to escape the civil war in Lebanon. With
her Lebanese heritage, she is both fluent in Arabic languages and
was raised in the Lebanese culture.
As Ms. Lebanon, Emmy hopes to make her relatives and both
nations proud. They have residences in Egypt, Dubai and America.
She realizes that western and Arabic cultures differ. However,
she is the embodiment of the merge of the two and how respect and
coexistence can be achieved.
Emtiaz studied law and has a Bachelor’s of Science degree in
Political Science from Texas A & M. She has served in many roles
to support her family. She was a District-Manager Lab-Technician
where she managed three different prison units daily laboratory
needs. She eagerly proves she is always up to the task at hand
and will get the job done.
She is a devoted mother to her beautiful children. After 17 years
of marriage, divorce can be hard but as she states, "you pick up
the pieces and make sure that your babies don’t suffer because of
it".
These days, she is actively involved with charitable activities
here and beyond. She hopes this new title will help her efforts
have a broader reach. She founded a group that has been
transforming and evolving into a thriving organization. This
organization and her heart are devoted to giving those in need
critical/crucial items for their babies and young toddlers. The
fact that her first born is autistic, lead her to understand just
how important the need for adequate advocacy can be in the life
of a special-needs child and how that directly affects the family
members of that child. Therefore, her true passion/platform is
Child Advocacy.
She enjoys cooking and baking in her free time and her daily goal
is to be the best version of herself as well as make her children
smile. Emmy is a very ambitious, strong woman that sets out to
achieve all of her dreams while helping others. The rest is just
“icing on the cake” of her blessed life. She is grateful for
everyday she is given.
Emmy is both proud and humbled to represent and serve women in
general and more specifically the people of her culture as well.
Her somewhat Americanized beliefs and her life experiences
coupled with her upbringing and culture, will allow her to make
inroads leading to more understanding and cooperation among the
many variations of people in the world. The children of the world
depend on it.
