Bio
LaNonda “Loni” Willis is a graduate of Northern Illinois University who
earned a Bachelors of Arts degree in Radio and Television Production.
Throughout LaNonda’s college career, she modeled with the production of “The Miss Black Illinois Pageant” and with an organization entitled
“PresentPerfect.” After graduation, she began her career in media at V103 Radio in Chicago, Illinois and in later years worked for Clear Channel
Communications.
Prior to working for Clear Channel, she re-kindled her life-long passion for fashion photography which led to photographing and training aspiring
models. Her affiliation with a local fashion modeling troupe motivated her to launch an organization entitled “Julia Models.” From her promotions
and event coordinating experience through V103, she was able to organize and produce fashion shows for various organizations as well as her own.
Additionally, LaNonda has used her experience in voice-overs as a platform to launch her voice-over training program of five years.
In addition to training aspiring voice-over artists, LaNonda is now the
Founder, CEO and Creative Director of Fab avec Amour, a local fashion
based charity organization. As a Breast Cancer survivor, daughter of a
parent with Alzheimer’s Disease and mother of an autistic child, Loni felt
compelled to merge all her passions together. Her passion for fashion &
media combined with her desire to make a difference in the lives of others, through philanthropy, was her driving force.
