Dr. Elyssa Green hails from Columbus Ohio and love’s her Buckeye State. With a family of 5 awesome kids, and a fabulous husband. She served in the US Army for 12 years. That is not always a shocker it’s when she tells people she is Air Assault (meaning she repelled out of helicopters). She has always been a person interested in the Arts.
Show Notes
From Music, Culinary, Acting, to Fashion the arts has given her inspiration, clarity, and purpose. When the economy tanked in 2008, She had to reinvent herself and followed an inspiration to assist in presenting avenues to youth who were interested in pursuing a career in the Arts; through a youth organization called “Teen Expressions”. The youth in the organization showcased their talent each year through an event called “I Am Style Fashion Show”. Some of the youth received scholar ships to a couple of Arts Universities including SCAD based on their portfolios created for “I Am Style Fashion Show”. Dr. Green took a break from the youth organization to pursue some educational goals. When completed she contemplated how to contribute to her local community & Art industry and decided to contribute to the industry by helping those undiscovered become visible and those who have some experience and need a push the tools to do so. Thus, the creation of I Am Style Agency.
Dr. Green stands strong on the thought process that having a good support system is critical in any industry. This is true in the Talent-Entertainment industry and most certainly community. One of the things she most enjoys about the industry is meeting aspiring talent. Seeing their eyes light up when they speak about their craft is priceless. As a young lady she was fascinated with mysteries, dramas, musical, and stage plays. She must say that Sidney Portia, Carol Burnett, Lucy Ball, Diana Carol, Diana Ross, Venessa Williams, Viola Davis, Kerry Washington, Angela Bassett, Taraji P Henson, Denzel Washington, and newcomer (keep your eyes on her) Mahogany Raspberry are truly invaluable contributors to the industry. Some of her favorite designers are Christian Dior, Versace, Channel & Prada; some fabulous local designers that she loves: Wants & Desires, Style Junkiez Kloset, Tanya Marie, Lisa Nicole, Ryan Lamar, and Farrierbell Couture. In looking at her favorite list of designers you can see that classy sophisticated sexy elegance has always been a style best suited for me.
We live in such difficult times. The one thing Dr. Green looks forward to is the change in or nation toward racism and discrimination towards those who look or act differently then what society views as the norm. She feels Art will and continues to assist in expressing and impacting changes that need to occur in our Nation. She loves how Tracey Ellis Ross has put together episodes in “Blackish” to bring awareness to society about various rights that impact people of color…”How great would it be to spend a day with her and the whole crew of blackish picking their brains”.
Being inspired by pure gratitude from others has always poured air into her space to combat day to day stressors. Not knowing what the future holds due to the pandemic. One of the achievements she strives to obtain is building viable long-lasting relationships. Currently Dr. Green’s agency “I Am Style” is working on building a solid team-roster in hopes to continue to elevate careers. She is working on various projects that she hopes will be an honorable contribution to the industry.
One of her favorite motivational quotes is “The person that says that it cannot be done should not interrupt the person doing it.” Chinese Proverb.
