Model and activist Amelie Zilber is using social media to spread political awareness. When she's not posting pictures on Instagram, she's making informational TikToks about various social issues. Now that she's in college, Amelie is doing her best to manage school and online fame. Regardless of only joining social media in August of 2019, she's already garnered millions of followers across various platforms. Here's everything you need to know about Amelie Zilber.

She's an Aries

This 18 year old was born on March 27, 2002.

She's of mixed decent

In a Q&A video, she said that her dad and his parents are French, but her mother is part Lebanese and part American.

She can almost speak three languages

Amelie can speak English and French fluently, but because she's so interested in Middle Eastern politics, she's learning Arabic.

Her brother got her interested in learning about politics

In her Q&A, Amelie mentions that her brother and mom used to get into serious political discussions. She wanted to join in so she could outshine him, so she began researching and found out that she's really interested in the topic.

She wants to help others get involved in politics, too

She started a newsletter called Two Minute Times that breaks down news stories in an easy to understand format.

Beyond the newsletter — which even has its own merch — Amelie also uses her social media platforms to speak out about the importance of politics. She's open about her viewpoints and why everyone's voice matters, and is now a Young Ambassador for UNICEF.

She's attending Georgetown

Even though Amelie is in Los Angeles taking classes remotely because of coronavirus, she is a student at Georgetown University. Since the school is in D.C., she said in a vlog that she has to be signed in to her 9 a.m. class at 6 a.m.

In her Q&A video, she mentioned that she wanted to go to school to further her commitment on foreign affairs. While she hasn't shared her exact major, the school does offer a Justice and Peace Studies major.

She's signed to LA Models

Amelie also stated she started modeling at 15 years old. She was signed to Ford Models before her agent left the agency for LA Models. Amelie followed her agent, and that's where she is represented.

She believes you can be beautiful and smart

In the Q&A, Amelie talks about the idea that people who are attractive aren't seen as intelligent. "And I hope that we can start to change that more," she said. "Because I do think it's important that girls who are beautiful and confident and love themselves can also be smart and intelligent and empowering. I think that's something, a stereotype that we need to break and we need to keep working on. Can we just freaking normalize that beautiful girls can be really freaking smart and empowering? Let's normalize that because a lot of us are."

She's causally dating Blake Gray

In an interview with Tom Ward, Amelie said she and fellow TikTok star Blake Gray are dating, but it's nothing serious yet. "Blake and I have been going on dates, yes," she begins. "I've known Blake for maybe a year now. I've know him for a long time and we're sort of just seeing how things work."

Either way, they look super cute on Instagram together.
