She waited a year to upload a video after she created her YouTube channel
Yep, a whole year! Emma created her YouTube channel in 2016 but didn’t post her first video until 2017, which was called “City Inspired Summer Lookbook 2017”. Maybe it was nerves? But we are so glad she decided to give YouTube a go in the end.

As we know the YouTube world is full of different groups and squads. Emma has been a member of the ‘Sister Sqaud’ which was made up with James Charles and the Dolan Twins. They made numerous funny videos on each others channels. The squad came to an end in May 2019 after controversy with James Charles.
