REAL
GIRLS, REAL LIFE visit
the site
The
latest project from Empowerment Media is an exciting new
series called REAL GIRLS, REAL LIFE. REAL
GIRLS is an innovative cross between a cutting-edge
talk show and a reality television show. Five young women
(age 19-123) are challenged to join a revolution…of real
girls discovering how to live their lives beautifully by making
positive life choices. Among the issues explored:
- Body
Image – The
great secret struggle of young women
- Beauty – It’s NOT what the magazines say. Beauty
enhancers and beauty busters. Plus what beauty REALLY is!
- Charm
School – Whatever happened to “ladies”,
respect, and manners?
- Relationships – They don’t fulfill what many
young women are looking for. They meet weekly with the
show co-hosts at a fabulous house, converse with interesting
guests and experts, enjoy a number of recurring characters and
features, and then. The show is actually part reality series,
part talk show. It follows five “real girls” from
the ages of 19 to 23 as they search to discover how to “Live
Life Beautifully”.
The
new show has everything a girl wants….a good cry, a
good laugh, good friends, and insight into guys. But what
truly sets it apart is its hard-hitting truth about the REAL challenges
young women face today.... and how to live life beautifully in
this complicated world.
“ What you're doing is not only important crucial to
my generation. I'm sixteen years old, a sophomore in high school
and I watch my friends and peers make destructive, ignorant decisions continually.
It breaks my heart to see people I know and care
about ruin their reputations, families, and their futures
for the attention or acceptance of people in equally unstable
positions. Your programs could significantly change the outlook
of not only our futures but the futures of generations succeeding
ours. I, myself would love to learn to live my own life beautifully!”
Katy Strasser/November 2007
“ I like the basic message of the show, how
its not focused on only one aspect of our lives, but teaches
ways to become all around better, happier, and healthier
people. There are really bad influences in body image,
diet, and other important subjects to people my age in magazines
and really, just everywhere. It's nice to know that I have a
reliable source to count on for that kind of information.
Your show is updated and interesting though, its reality
tv, which is, generationally, what we're into.
Viewer, November, 2007
All
of EMI’s shows have received a tremendous response
from all over the country. Viewer comments echo the same theme…the
most attractive part of each of these series is that they are INCREDIBLY
RELEVANT! They reach out to the MTV generation where they
are and pack a powerful punch of values that is so desperately
needed in the lives of teens and pre-teens. The show topics are
also incredibly relevant…right out of the lives of young
people everywhere.
ULTIMATE
CHOICE visit
the site
In the beginning we realized to win the hearts
and souls of young people we had to first capture their imagination
and pique their interest. We accomplished this with our first
series, ULTIMATE
CHOICE by creating a highly entertaining television
show packed with adventure, extreme sports, cutting edge music
and real life drama.
But unlike anything else on TV, ULTIMATE CHOICE delivered
compelling and candid conversations about the issues that most
concern teens and young adults. But instead glorifying self-indulgence
and poor choices, ULTIMATE CHOICE elevated
virtue, self-control and positive choices through the voices of
our incredible cast. The result: The truth was told and lives were
changed!
“About a year and a half ago I started drinking
because it SEEMED like the right thing to do. All my
friends were doing it and I thought it was the only thing to
do that was FUN. But I didn’t like the fact that
I had to lie to my Mom in order to have simple fun. I came
home one night after going out, fell asleep, woke up and turned
on the TV only to find the show ULTIMATE CHOICE. I felt
like it was directed specifically towards me, telling me to
change my ways in order to achieve my goals in the future. Ever
since then, I wait for the show to come on every Saturday! I
still go out on the weekends, but surprisingly, I don’t
do any of the drinking anymore because I know that’s
not what I need to have fun.” (Jessica Khan)
“There
is so much stuff going on in school like drugs, sex, and being
accepted. I want to say thank you for ULTIMATE CHOICE because
you all have taught me that doing things just because everyone
else does it is not always the right choice because it can
affect your life forever. The show made me think about why
am I living up to other people’s standards to
be accepted. I need to make my own choices and do what I think
is right. That will help me in life to accomplish my goals. Thank
you for showing me this. I wanted you guys to know that
the show’s had a big impact on my life.” (Miranda,
17-year old)
ULTIMATE
CHOICE FAMILY EDITION visit
the site
Building
on the success of four seasons and 63 episodes of ULTIMATE
CHOICE,
in 2007 we created a spin-off of UC,
called ULTIMATE
CHOICE Family Edition….same theme, same
style…we
just replaced the young adults with four families. And with
that diverse group of families, we explored the issues that ALL
families face today. We
also introduced a couple of experts, Dr. Drew Edwards and Dr. Pam
Mullarkey, to help teach parents and children how to better communicate
with each other.
