Emma Chamberlain is a multi-hyphenate powerhouse: With more than 1.5 billion views on YouTube, 16.2 million followers on Instagram, countless modelling gigs for international magazine covers and in-magazine feature articles for companies such as Vogue, GQ, Harper’s Bazaar, Forbe’s, Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, and Allure, including successful work as a fashion journalist at the Met Gala, as well as being CEO of a major American coffee company, and a public advocate for mental health, this 21-year-old has made a huge impact on popular culture not only in North America, but the world. And yet, in conversation with this young woman, she comes across as simply thus: a young woman. Her down-to-earth nature draws attention in a world ruled by superficiality and dishonesty. So, it comes as no surprise that she would spread her authenticity by adding prolific podcaster to her list of ambitions. Though, Emma would probably not like this word. As this is just something that she does. From her bed. And her import in society is clearly contained in the limits of humility. Of simply being human. It is topics like this that she relates in her podcast.
