This week, we sit down with legendary content creator, Amber Whittington—aka AmbersCloset—to talk about her journey from YouTube pioneer to TV and her next big move… politics? 👀

We get into the real challenges of staying authentic in the public eye, dating as a creator, friendship breakups, and the real LA.

Plus, Amber weighs in on the bisexual studs debate for this week’s Bad Queer Opinion.
