Globally Acclaimed Actress and Journalist Uses Her Voice to Empower Women with Emma J Purvey |Season 17, Episode 9|
Description
From her first campaign at age 7 to performing Shakespeare in Venice, Italy, Emma’s path to becoming a professional actress has been shaped by a tapestry of experiences—modeling, broadcast journalism, and on-camera hosting. These roles opened the door to acting, but it was her decision to fully commit to the craft—training at The American Academy of Dramatic Arts in NYC and RADA in London—that marked a turning point. Now based in the U.S. on an O-1 visa for individuals with extraordinary ability (the same tier used by Oscar winners), Emma’s work reflects both the caliber she’s achieved and the trajectory she’s on.
While acting remains her core focus, Emma’s storytelling extends beyond the screen. She’s directing her first docuseries using her broadcast background, starting with Love.Truth.Plants, a personal project supported by her fashion-for-a-cause t-shirt line, Moulton. Her platform My Beauty Diary—published in VegWorld Magazine and soon expanding to a major outlet—offers a behind-the-scenes look at how she beautifies from the inside out, blending wellness, empowerment, and purpose. Through every role she plays, behind or in front of the camera, Emma continues to build a legacy rooted in depth, impact, and authenticity. We will wrap up the episode hearing her career advice too.
