But that’s not a failure, it’s totally fixable.

And that’s why IPIA exists. So that we can help image professionals like you 🫵 build businesses that get seen, get chosen, and get paid.

IPIA's Quarterly Meeting Starting Soon!

Our president will be sharing some valuable insights to Personal Branding.

Marilyn Morris, the AmbassadorMaker, is the founder of Whuami Image Boutique. Whuami is a boutique finishing school that specialises in personal branding, and personal refinement.

The term "AmbassadorMaker" is significant as it encapsulates Marilyn’s role in empowering and transforming women into confident leaders who can navigate any environment with poise and authority.

It signifies her unique ability to mentor individuals in developing their confidence, personal brand, leadership skills, and create a high impact personal presence, so they too can become representatives of that which they stand for and want to be known for just like how an ambassador represents and upholds the highest standards of their country.

Her own journey from a shy introvert and military nurse, to a VIP Flight Attendant, diplomat, and image industry leader is a powerful story of transformation and empowerment. She began her career as a military nurse and later joined the South African Air Force as a VIP Flight Attendant, serving dignitaries like the late Former President Nelson Mandela, former President Thabo Mbeki, Royalty, Ministers and Diplomats.

She holds a postgraduate diploma in Corporate Brand Strategy and Events Design from the University of Hong Kong Space where she also served as a South African diplomat to the world city of Hong Kong.

Marilyn is a recognised assessor and mentor for Allan Gray philanthropy programs, President of the International Professional Image Consultant Association, and served as a member of the Personal Services Chamber Committee of the Services SETA.
