A lot of you may be familiar with some of the many YOUTUBE personalities; one that caught my eye was “SbSam0890” You never know how down to earth a person can be until you converse with them, and this interview helped me to gain so much positive vibes from her. SbSam is a young woman that gives much love to her community; here’s an in depth interview with her:
Technically way more than a year I started a YOUTUBE around February 2008 but it was deleted so I think I restarted it around august 2008...I'm not too sure.
*What first inspired you to make videos? Did you think your fan base would grow so big?
- I started YOUTUBE to see if I would get a reaction and I did actually rather quickly! I would get over 100 views for each video every week now for a NEW YOUTUBER u get 3 or 4 weekly I was getting over 100. So after I saw people really didn't see studs like me it helped me come out of my shell more. So came the birth of SBS...
*I love your dancing skills that you always showcase; how long have you been dancing?
-I have always been dancing since I could walk literally when I was about three or four my mother put me in a dancing class ballet to be exact. I was the top student in that class. Then I took a break until I was six I started tap dancing then jazz classes, hip-hop, street dancing, and back to ballet in all I took eight years of dance school then took another break.
*Your also very athletic other then skateboarding, what other sports do you play?
-Wow, um you could say I'm your all around sports girl. Growing up I did everything baseball, softball, basketball, golf, soccer, racket ball, tennis, bowling, skateboard practice, aggressive inline practice, karate, track & field, and volleyball. Yeah...and I still participate in various sports on my own currently I'm on my school's bowling team, and I skateboard all the time.
* In one of your Videos you stated that you recently became a Partner w/ YOUTUBE, what have been the benefits from that so far?
So far...nothing...just being partners in the beginning if they see something special about your channel you go through a process. They watch your videos what is your target audience, what is your average number of views per video? If any of my videos can help them make money by high ratings or high amount of views I get part of the money. Currently I do not have enough views or the large amount of subscribers to make any money or get the right publicity I need. The money honestly...I don't give a sh*t about. I am making people happy, helping young LGBTQ members get through difficult confusing times. I have many people message me and say "thank you so much you don't have and idea how much you inspire me to be me and not worry about the public."
*Being a part of the LGBT community, did that alter any of your decisions on making your videos nationwide due to the fact that everyone is not comfortable with homosexuality?
-no it did not alter my decision at all. Everyone that knows me knows that I am completely comfortable with myself mentally, physically, spiritually, and sexually. What I feel is my business and for other people that uncomfortable with my life style or how I go about things is of Non concern to them. If I was in danger to myself and others than there is something wrong and they can intervene. But if I am not of harm to anyone and I'm simply living my life, everyone else that isn’t family close friends or a lover. I couldn't waist my time on trivial little comments or opinions.
*On some of your videos you give advice and discuss issues concerning the LGBT community, do you find that your fans are receptive to the advice that you offer?
-Yes I have had no videos that my fans or viewers really didn't like. I have always gotten a positive response. The issues that I discuss are the ones that are most requested. Everything I talk about or dance to is of high request from the audience.
*How have you helped in the LGBT community? What are some things that you’ve done? Who from the LGBT community have you linked up with?
-I would say so far I have helped many of our younger LGBTQ community many say & ask "how do I come out" "my girl doesn't like that I am DL" "I think I am gay" "what's is the mentality of a fem/stud..." "I think I'm bi" and the most famous "I am new at this how do I approach...” I give them a few tips of advice and a few days or a week later I get a message back. Thank you all the helped you gave helped me so much it was so much easier. You’re such an inspiration! That's what keeps me going. I have also helped promote shirts that gave a percentage of there earnings to the "Make a Wish Foundation".
Ha, um I have linked up with a couple of people actually in person I have worked with Carmelo aka Simone youtube.com/simonej25. Over the internet I have linked up with Kamari Lyrikal, Kei Minaj aka sxchafxchnfem, Mrs.sarkazz, Sourtherncum4it, Veepa, studdedl0ve, Jaii. Way back in the beginning of 2009 I did a dance battle with Flipondeck and Dz from studology101.

*You consider yourself to be the “Sexiest Stud on YOUTUBE” correct? What helps you to hold that title? Lol don’t get all cocky on me, and have you had any flack about that title?
-Hell yeah I consider myself that. I'm sayin "sexiest"
I mean Intelligent, passionate, Intimate, there when you need me, you want me forever but hold my memory for hours, seducement through the screen, inside and out you scream for more...well that's how I describe it haha. I feel like I hold that title because yes a lot of people try to do it but lack in certain areas and connect to the camera but can't dance well. Can dance well but can't connect to camera. Can dance and connect to the camera but can't promote themselves. It’s a competitive thing YOUTUBE everyone wants to be apart of it but not for the right reasons or have no goal at all I do. That is what sets us apart.

*What do you hope comes from your YOUTUBE/INTERNET famous celebrity status?
-I hope to help our community to be more understood amongst the US UK ASIA . I hope to make a movement, the money isn't really important to me. I just want to be able to marry the women that I want to without a problem that we are same sex.
*Where do you see yourself five years down the line [career] wise?
- Not to sure right now maybe a graphic designer or computer animator, tattoo artist, train to be a professional skateboarder, or maybe LGBTQ activist. Where ever I will be I know I will be great at it until then I will focus on school.
*Can you give us a famous quote from you, or some words of wisdom for the fans?
-what you learn you may not understand today, but can make you stronger with every breathe you take tomorrow don't be scared of what you know, be scared for the people who don't have that privilege to learn. I just made that up it simply means don't pre judge something learn about it right now you may not get it. But tomorrow you'll start to get it. Don't be scared to know something new, people that don't learn become ignorant and stay in a comfortable bubble. Our lives are surrounded by change if your not apart of change you block out wonderful things we call life.
