J-Hud Gets With Avon

By Quibian Salazar-Moreno

      It’s been an exhilarating few months for Jennifer Hudson with her performance in Dreamgirls garnering her Golden Globe, Oscar and NAACP Image awards. Now the endorsements are starting come her way. J-Hud recently struck an endorsement deal with Avon products to promote the Imari Fragrance brand.

      "This is an honor for me and very flattering," Hudson said. "With the success of ‘Dreamgirls’ and now an Oscar, it’s been an incredible few months. And now, to partner with Avon is really a dream come true for me. It’s exciting to be representing the Imari brand, which really embodies confidence and femininity."

      The new fragrance, Imari Seduction, will go on sale in August. Hudson’s first assignment as an Avon rep will be at Global Summit for a Better Tomorrow, presented by the Virtue Foundation in partnership with Avon, happening at the United Nations in New York City.
