While her name might initially make you think of a particular celebrity, this Amber Rose is in a lane all her own. Originally from Wichita, Kansas, Amber is kind, a self-proclaimed nerd, and a mother who is new to Playboy Plus. “I’m a bottle slinger, model, and science nerd,” she says of herself. “I don’t think anyone would think of me as a huge science nerd or bookworm, but I have a degree in biology,” begins Amber. “I think most people see someone that they deem attractive, and they feel as though it’s impossible for them to be deeply intellectual as well.” A positive person, Amber chooses to see the beauty in the world above all else. “I’m a dreamer and definitely an optimist. I love to see the good in everyone and everything,” she tells us. Her passion? Turning that positive outlook into action. “As corny as it may sound, I love being of service to others. I think there is nothing more pure than the joy you feel being selfless,” says Amber. “Of course, I love modeling and creating — that fuels my artistic side for sure.” As far as posing for Playboy, we met Amber through her photographer, Tina Louise, but she discovered us growing up. “I was at a friend’s house, and her dad had some vintage ’70s Playboy magazines we looked through,” she shares. “I wasn’t as concerned with the nudity as I was with how incredibly beautiful all of the women were. I knew I wanted to be one of those women one day.” Now that she’s here, Amber is savoring the moment. “My experience has been amazing. Iconic — that is what the Playboy brand means to me. It feels like a dream come true.” Get to know more about Amber Rose right here on Playboy Plus.
