A.M.E. exists to elevate, protect, and empower the entertainers who make this industry thrive.
We are building a national standard for:

• Fair wages
   
• Professional conduct
   
• Mental health support
   
• Safety and wellbeing
   
• Transparency and accountability
   
• Industry-wide unity
   
• Long-term career opportunity
   

For too long, entertainers have been the heart of the party — but left without a voice in the decisions that affect their livelihoods.

A.M.E. is here to change that.

Modern entertainers are expected to be:

• Hosts
   
• Bartenders
   
• Performers
   
• Personalities
   
• Fitness-level athletes
   
• Safety managers
   
• Content creators
   
• And emotional anchors for event dynamics
   

Yet many agencies continue to shrink wages while raising expectations.

A.M.E. is working toward:

based on workload, heat exposure, preparation requirements, and physical/mental demands.

so entertainers know exactly what they’re paid — and what they’re worth.

so performers can make informed decisions and vendors understand the true cost of ethical talent.

Being an entertainer isn’t just a job.
It’s a lifestyle — one that requires discipline, sacrifice, and emotional strength.

A.M.E. is committed to:

• Recognizing mental burnout
   
• Supporting performers in maintaining healthy routines
   
• Reducing stigma around men’s mental health
   
• Providing community-based guidance and resources
   
• Promoting healthy boundaries with clients
   
• Highlighting the real pressures entertainers face:
  relationships, body image, weekends sacrificed, alcohol-heavy environments, physical exhaustion, and heat/humidity exposure
   

A thriving industry requires consistent expectations.

A.M.E. aims to set clear, nationally recognized guidelines for:

• Safety & consent
   
• Conduct & communication
   
• Event flow & responsibilities
   
• Grooming & presentation expectations
   
• Client-to-entertainer boundaries
   
• Weather and environmental safety
   
• Alcohol consumption limits
   
• Payment transparency
   

These standards protect both entertainers and clients —
and ensure that the quality of service remains exceptional.

The entertainment world has always been competitive — and intentionally isolated.
Agencies have benefitted from keeping entertainers disconnected.

A.M.E. is here to:

• Unite performers nationwide
   
• Create a space for honest conversation
   
• Share experiences, pay rates, and challenges
   
• Highlight unethical practices
   
• Celebrate wins and growth
   
• Create a national brotherhood of support
   

Unity is protection.
Transparency is evolution.**

A.M.E. believes in collaboration, not conflict.

We invite agencies and vendors to join us in:

• Supporting fair wages
   
• Respecting entertainer wellbeing
   
• Being transparent about expectations
   
• Prioritizing safety and ethical conduct
   
• Working with talent who feel valued and empowered
   

Vendors — especially Airbnbs, decor companies, transport services, and planners — play a powerful role.
Their support signals that they stand with the men who elevate their clients’ experiences.

Entertainment is often a stepping-stone to:

• Fitness training
   
• Event hosting
   
• Modeling
   
• Personal branding
   
• Entrepreneurship
   
• Opening agencies
   
• Creating new experiences
   

A.M.E. is here to provide resources, mentorship, and support for entertainers who want to grow their careers — inside and outside the industry.

A.M.E. is committed to ensuring entertainers can:

• Report unethical practices anonymously
   
• Vote on standards and policies
   
• Shape the future of the industry
   
• Take leadership roles on boards and committees
   
• Influence wage recommendations and guidelines
   

For the first time, entertainers will have representation — not just expectations.

We promise to:

• Advocate with integrity
   
• Listen without judgment
   
• Lead with transparency
   
• Protect entertainers
   
• Elevate standards
   
• Empower personal and professional growth
   
• Build a healthier, more ethical industry
   
• Unite every entertainer who wants to be part of the change
   

This alliance isn't about conflict.
It’s about correction, connection, and elevation.

A future where:

• Entertainers earn what they deserve
   
• Agencies operate ethically
   
• Vendors show their support openly
   
• Mental health is recognized and supported
   
• Boundaries are respected
   
• Standards are upheld
   
• New entertainers enter the industry with protection, not vulnerability
   
• Performers stand together, not alone
   

A future where the industry doesn’t just grow —
it grows the right way.

If you are an entertainer:
Your voice, your experience, and your wellbeing matter.

If you are a vendor or agency who believes in ethical practices:
Your partnership has the power to change lives.

If you are ready to help raise the standard —
Welcome to the alliance.
