Who Is Michelle Phan?

"I’m slowly starting to work with other girls, and I’m slowly starting to mentor and help other beauty girls. As much as I love being on YouTube and doing what I do, it’s impossible to stay on top, it’s impossible to always be number one, and I want to share that with other people, too. I don’t want to take all the limelight. Being number one doesn’t mean anything to me when you’re all alone on top. I’d rather share this platform with every other girl that I think has an amazing vision. So I’ve just been working with other girls and other YouTubers to establish YouTubers — helping them and mentoring them. It’s been wonderful so far — I love it.

I’ve been doing this so long that I feel like a Mama Goose. A lot of these girls — especially the younger ones — ask me things like, 'How do I handle cyber bullying?' and, 'What do I do about monitoring commenting?' so I give them my best advice and I just help establish a really strong brand for their channel. That’s what I’ve been doing and I love it because it’s like playing the big sister role."
