About Amber

Amber began her career in New York City, working as a Page at NBCUniversal, and later became an assistant at Bravo TV. While working at Bravo TV and exploring the city’s bustling restaurant scene, Amber fell in love with food and the storytelling that surrounds the food industry on screen, in magazines, and at events. At age 23, Amber launched her then side hustle To Be Hosted - a supper club designed to spark meaningful connections among strangers, while highlighting Black chefs, artists, and musicians.

Since then, To Be Hosted has grown into a full-service event agency that specializes in dinner parties, salon events, and celebrations. To date, To Be Hosted has worked with an elite clientele, including Moët Hennessy, Chandon, Patrón, Equinox, Soho House, Pinterest, Netflix, YouTube, and many more. With each event, To Be Hosted is on a mission to create more equitable and interesting social gatherings for all. 

Amber’s entertaining expertise has been featured in The New York Times, Vogue, The Washington Post, Better Homes & Gardens, Good Morning America, Bizbash, and more. As an entrepreneur, Amber has been recognized by Forbes 30 Under 30, 2022, and the CCNYC’s Creative Class 2023.

Currently: Amber is working on her debut entertaining book with Artisan. The gathering guide will teach readers how to plan and host parties with an emphasis on feeling, belonging, connection, and soulful details.
