Emily is a digital influencer. I've been doing the field research on this character for the past eight years. I know exactly who Emily is. I've met her. I know her.
Honestly, I feel like I'm having a series of out-of-body experiences.
It's been quite a journey. When I started in dance and reality TV, I never imagined it would lead me back to acting.
