While she is of Filipina descent, Ember Snow was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia of all places. She came to the US while still a child and has been here ever since. Ember grew up in a very strict household with unlimited access to the internet. There she engaged in platonic relationships and fueled her imagination playing video games, reading manga and being fascinated by porn. While completely captivated by the openness of the men and women of the industry, she herself remained very closed off sexually, afraid that if she gave into her desires, she might discover she’d like it too much.
