Everything You Wanted to Know About YouTube Sensation zoeunlimited
We love unique YouTube success stories, and zoeunlimited's story is truly one-of-a-kind.
The Chinese-Canadian creator actually has a background in finance, graduating from UCLA summa cum laude in just three years with a major in business and economics and a minor in accounting, but it didn't take her long to see that this wasn't the path for her. She had a 9 to 5 job in the business world before realizing her future was in content creation, tackling pop culture topics, beauty standards and online trends to enchant more than 2.8 million followers on YouTube alone. We can't get enough of her honest conversations about struggling with self-worth and the journey of healing, and we feel like we're right on the path with her. If you're equally obsessed, keep reading to discover everything Zoe shared with us as our new Woman Crush Wednesday.

9. She relates to Rapunzel from Tangled more than any other Disney princess.
"For the longest time before I began creating, life was going well (in accordance with societal norms): good college, good grades, good opportunities lined up, but I felt trapped. It was through YouTube that I realized I need creative freedom to not only thrive, but also be my full self."

12. Zoe says that growth is core to both who she is and what she creates.
"I am a believer that there is truly no limit to growth—which is why I strive to do my better, not the best; for every accomplishment is not the end but leads to the beginning of a fresh breakthrough. Knowing that there is no limit to growth is extremely exciting and pushes me daily to build a better me, create better content and grow a stronger community."
