Bio:

“At the age of 15, my stepfather started what ended up being six years of systemic sexual abuse, threatening me and my family’s lives if I ever revealed my torturous secret to anyone.

I fell pregnant twice because of his abuse and then was forced into two illegal abortions to hide his heinous crimes.

After escaping his evil clutches when I was 21, his legacy continued to haunt me after experiencing 16 consecutive miscarriages, including two ectopic pregnancies – one that nearly killed me in 2019, as one of the abortions was botched and had damaged my reproductive system.

I spent 20 years of my life living in anger, guilt, shame and fear because I didn’t have the confidence, courage, and self-belief to say what had happened to me as a young girl.

I was a workaholic, a people-pleaser, trying to keep the peace, seeking approval from others, saying YES when I wanted to say NO, afraid to make a mistake, procrastinating and worrying about what others think of me.

On the surface, I looked like I have it all together, but inside I was relentlessly beating myself up for every single mistake and frustrated that life wasn’t going my way.

I wasted a lot of energy and time on narcissistic and toxic relationships, in which I put their needs above, and then resent them for it. I would blame myself for their moods and bad behaviour. I was trying hard to prove myself, to dress better, behave better, and love them more, so I can make them happy.

One of the most powerful things I ever learned was that we can’t control anyone or anything else around us. The only thing in our power to change is ourselves.

I now reclaimed my power, freed myself from the tether of tyranny, shame and anger, and made it my life’s purpose to help others to live the life of their dreams.

Imagine what your life will look like a year from now if you take back control of the power that was stripped away?”

Genesis Amaris Kemp – Loss & Grief: How to Use the Power of Your Voice to Create Change Along Your Healing Journey

Genesis Amaris Kemp – Loss & Grief: How to Use the Power of Your Voice to Create Change Along Your Healing Journey

By |

I felt embraced by wisdom during this enlightening conversation with Genesis Amaris Kemp, visionary life coach, motivational speaker, best-selling author, DEI advocate, and host of GEMS podcast. Please join us as we discuss:

  • Genesis’ personal journey overwhelming loss and subsequent grief
  • her philosophies on using your voice to initiate deserved change
  • her book Chocolate Drop in Corporate America: From the pit to the palace

  • and so much more!

You can also catch soundbites of our insightful interview on YouTube.

Bio:

“Genesis Amaris Kemp is a Creative Content Writer, Author, Self-Development Advocate, Visionary, Inclusion and Diversity enthusiast, Firecracker, and a force to be reckoned with.

She is a woman of color who said, “Enough is enough,” and is now bolder than ever. She tried to remain silent, but that didn’t work because no change occurred. Today, Genesis is readapting to the current times and making some life-changing decisions. She is stepping outside of her comfort zone by speaking up, challenging the status quo, and refusing to let limitations on her keep her down.

Genesis is a woman who will do great things that empower others to speak up for themselves. Yes, it may be challenging; yes, it may hurt. But in the long run, she desires to encourage others to help those who may not have a voice.

She is a trailblazer who wants others to live out their dreams, goals, and visions. If it takes her writing this book (Chocolate Drop in Corporate America: From The Pit To The Palace) to accomplish those tasks, then so be it. We all have been given an excellent purpose in life. It is up to us to walk it out and live victoriously!

Genesis has been featured on four dozen-plus podcasts, magazines and then decided to finally start her own podcast, GEMS, with Genesis Amaris Kemp.”
