Q and A with Amore from Bedfordview, Johannesburg, South Africa
“…women should be celebrated not tolerated.”
Q: What are you passionate about?
A: I’m passionate about fashion, especially bridal and evening wear.
In 2011, the Lord gave me a word to start my own business, and fast forward to 2026, I make matric dance [similar to prom] and wedding dresses for woman all over the world through my business Scarlett Red Boutique.
Q: What were your younger years like?
A: I was an au pair in USA after school, and I studied fashion design while I worked as an au pair [a young adult from a foreign country who lives with a host family]. Then I went to LISOF in South Africa and worked for Browns the Diamond Store, where I designed high end jewellery pieces and sold it to the South African market.
I am an only child.
I believe I am where I am today because of God.
Q: What is something valuable you’d like others to know?
A: Consistency is key, and never give up on your dreams.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
The world is your oyster.
Q: What does feminism mean to you?
A: I was a single mom for 12 years, and I gave up on love and then God stepped in, and I met my husband after all those years.
And now I get to do what I absolutely love.
It’s the rights of women that is important and valuable, and women should be celebrated not tolerated.
MORE ABOUT AMORE: I’m a mom. I have a 15 year old, and a 10 month old baby. And I also have my own online business called Life With Amore, which is an extra flow of income for my business.
