We had the good fortune of connecting with Amber Latu and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Amber, is there a quote or affirmation that’s meaningful to you?
I will walk by faith, even when I cannot see. This really describes my life in so many ways. We have went through so many traumatic events and situations but we had to continue to push through and trust that God had a plan for us and be thankful for what we do have.

What should our readers know about your business?
I think the one thing I want the world to know about my story and brand is how much we fought and loved our daughter. We never, ever, gave up until her last breath. I want to give back as much as I possibly can. Nothing about our story has been easy but we know Journey would want us to keep pushing and heal our hearts as much as we can. Some lessons I’ve learned are how important it is to keep pushing. So often I want to give up and I remember who and what I do this for and I just keep on going!-*0

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
This is a hard one! I just moved to Houston from central Florida. I’m still learning the area and what’s the best places to go! A few of my favorites are: The Chef’s Table in Vintage Park, Salata, Sizzle and Brew, Flemings and we also love The Woodlands Mall.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My entire business is dedicated to Journey. Journey is my baby who passed away at 14 months old. She was born healthy and perfect. At 5 weeks old she suffered a spontaneous brain bleed leaving her extremely complex. She underwent many surgeries and faced so many complications. We fought day and night to heal our baby and take care of her. My husband and I had to quit our jobs/school to care for Journey 24/7 around the clock which resulted in us creating this business. Journey Justeen’s Boutique has been my healing and coping method through all of this. I am so blessed to keep her name alive and honor her everyday!
