commitment

The beauty is its credo. Miss France 2009 is about to launch a range of cosmetic treatments in the United States, where she lives in the family and hope to see the triumph of another America, that of Donald Trump…

She was crowned a few weeks after the historic election of Barack Obama to the presidency of the United States, in December 2008. Chloe Mortaud was not the first Miss France to reflect the diversity of france, but the franco-american by birth, she has surfed with grace on the Obama effect.

Installed for the last six years in Las Vegas, with her life partner Romain Thievin, a pilot met on the set of a show car for W9, Miss France 2009 has become the mother of a little boy, Matis, four and a half years. After having been a beauty queen and a fashion model for the Elite agency, it is preparing to launch on the north american territory, a line of care cosmetics – shower gels, scrubs, body milks – named-Miss Provence.

She did not really have the profile of Manon des Sources. His father, Jean-Marie, blue eyes and grey hair, stiff, is a native of Poitou-Charentes. His mother Brenda, skin of ebony and braids afro, Mississippi. All two met during a humanitarian mission in Togo. The Fruit of their miscegenation, Chloe was born at Lisieux, before they grow in Eure, Burgundy, Vienne, and more extensively, the country of albi, where she was wearing his first crown of miss.

But holding dual citizenship, she decided to combine the best of both sides of the Atlantic : the French chic and entrepreneurship, more uninhibited, american. ” I am a girl from the south of France, and my american family I was often asked to bring it back to products / home “, advance-does it have to justify its business plan and its return to the active life. ” I want, “she continued, of being both a mom, a woman and an entrepreneur ! “ Black, white, French and amerindian, because some of this blood flows in his mother’s family, just as much.

She remembers the wave of hopes raised by the inauguration of Barack Obama, the first president of metis, January 20, 2009. She was in Washington, with Sylvie Tellier, on this day. ” I saw my mother’s family and in particular my great-grandmother, who has experienced segregation, and comes from Memphis, where Martin Luther King was killed, cry of emotion,”says Chloe. For her, ” everything is a little faded with the election of Donald Trump. “ She doesn’t hide that they had voted for Hillary Clinton, less isolationist, more tolerant. ” I have the naiveté to believe that there’s no going back fifty years back, but Trump is in the process of reviving all that had been buried or appeased “, she says.

The clashes between the white supremacist demonstrators and the blacks in Charlottesville, in August last, the inability of the new tenant of the White House to calm the fever, a few days later, upset young woman, mulatto, partner of an expat and mother of a child group.

 “My family is what Trump hate and I’m proud of it “, she says. No angelism, or angelus. His first meeting with the american president left him a bad memory. It was in the context of the election of Miss Universe, even property tycoon, during the summer of 2009. ” We were aligned, and we have reviewed, with an eye particularly unhealthy “, remembers it.

Back in France ? She has voted for Emmanuel Macron, hopes that he will keep his promises of revival, but Roman is the least ready. They dine at the american hour, early, but bread, cheese and wine are always on their table. The family watches tv, speaks and reads in French. Not always easy for Matis, but ” I want to raise in the acceptance of differences, tolerance, a certain openness to the world “, says Chloe…
