    • @lilbabytears says:

      She came from a decently seemingly middle class family. Its not like she was dead poor. She went to pepperdine for crying out loud

    • @boouwhore6391 says:

      @@lilbabytears ur such a fan 😂 u must have watched her draw my life video. so u know that her childhood aside, she still *was* dead broke and took up *multiple* side jobs to make ends met. She 100% has a selfmade CAREER. Her dedication and creativity is what brought her to where she is now. There’s enough room for everyone to be successful, no need to be jealous. Go watch some more of her videos fan😂maybe you’ll get inspired.

    Amber is literally the role model I didn’t know I could have as an adult. I’m so happy she’s being interviewed by Forbes!!

  • @heyitsnaks says:

    She’s taught so many things to so many women, girls and all different generations it’s inspiring. She deserves this and so much more

  • @maureencali says:

    Being a veteran, you’d think she’d encounter scandals but since she’s always been honest and true to herself and simply minding her own business and living her best life, I MUST SAY KUDOS. You do you, Amber! Love your personality sm <3

    • @achelle_ says:

      She has had “scandals” but it’s mainly people coming up with random stuff to hate her for; being hyper sexual, “having a sugar daddy” and lying about it, her fast fashion collab with meshki. People are just bored and jealous I guess.

    • @lisasmith8484 says:

      Like people say “if you tell the truth then you don’t have to think up story’s ” I love how 100% authentic she is, also she should definitely play a characters voice in a cartoon or something!! 😆

    • @CelineStudywithme says:

      She had a scandal because she collaborated with Shein (Fast Fashion Brand). Many people complained that she just cared about the money and not the environment. She is honest, yes, because it is all about money for her, and it always has been, and she is honest about that. This is not me hating on Amber, I mean, who would not take a lucrative deal like this, but yeah, she is not scandal-free.

  • @FK-mx8hy says:

    I love seeing her bubbly self but I really love this more serious Amber in these interviews. This is no fluke, she knew what she was doing and she went for it. She a baddie!

  • @SusanLBlish says:

    I’m 66 and have been watching Amber since her first video was suggested many years ago. She reminds me of myself at her age and it thrills me to see a young woman grow and change into the wonderful woman she has become. In reading the comments others leave for her, anyone can see she is inspiring to so many. She has her head together and I wish for her the best. Thank you for interviewing her and showing Forbes support for women. Well done.

  • @nohemigomez9338 says:

    Acting and music and the arts in general were not taken seriously at first and still aren’t in some countries. So of course YouTube would not be taken seriously right away. All YouTubers should be proud. It’s a lot of work that goes unseen. I’m so happy for Amber making and manifesting all her dreams into reality.

  • @cheneroodt says:

    The thing that I admire the most in Amber is the way she made her dream life into a reality. She seems genuinely happy. She teaches us to run towards our dreams like the floor is on fire. She stays humble and is always real in her videos. That’s what’s attracting people to her. She teaches us to go for our dreams doesn’t matter how crazy it may sound. Her success story gives us hope.

  • @alexandraboaru says:

    Amber is the definition of true feminism and the power of women without ever sliding down the toxicity side or degrading the opposite sex. She is showing the weapons of a woman without manipulating men or people, she is touching the deepest parts of human soul and inspiring people to give a chance to their passion.

  • @mariansue4107 says:

    Omg this is on her manifestation board. 🥺 Forbes. She did it! we can do it also. I remember she said everytime at the end of her vlogs.
    “What if it wasn’t come true?
    But what if does? “❤️🙏🏻
