”I always felt like I was a strong woman. There’s not much that could break me”

The YouTube star and selfdescribed “certified weirdo” is already making me giggle as I settle down for our transatlantic video call. She’s perched in her infamous closet with racks of stylish threads and flawless trainers lining the white wall behind her. It feels strange and, lez-be-honest, more than a little bit exciting to be talking to Amber while she’s in the exact location I’ve seen in so many of her viral videos.
