It sucks to be a regular female gamer.
I can’t imagine what it’s like competing at a higher level.
Shoutout to the folks out there who don’t get weird every time a woman uses voice chat, who don’t blame a loss due to gender, and most importantly treat women like normal gamers.
Today is the first day of my last cycle of chemotherapy!
I’ll be done with all of my chemotherapy cycles February 28 as long as everything maintains course.
We’re doing it 💪 🧡
Its been a heavy month and in the spirit of speaking truths, I wanted to share some personal news.
14 days ago I was admitted into the ER for extreme fatigue, fever, bruising, etc. After testing, I learned I have a rare type of Leukemia called APL.
Hey Twitch friends 💜,
It's not Partners vs. Affiliates.
It's Partners AND Affiliates.
We're all on the same team here.
In many cases, Affiliates are essentially pre-Partners.
Many or a few moons ago, you were in their position.
Be happy for your developing creator peers.
We're hiring at

From OG League streamer to Rioter, this week I joined Riot to lead up Global Influencer Strategy!
Already, I’ve learned how much fun Rioters have with their work — excited to learn from all of the brilliant folks here and continue to make magic real for the Riot community. 👊❤️
When I first started streaming 10+ years ago, I couldn’t have possibly dreamed of where I’d be today. From a wide-eyed
@Twitch
Partner to leading Twitch's global Partner experience, it's been a journey that’s now come full circle. ⬇️
Today is special for me as I’m celebrating two years since I completed chemotherapy!
I don’t remember where I thought I would be two years ago. I was mostly in survival mode, taking it day by day.
Proud to be healthier, happier, and surrounded by loved ones.
🧡🧡🧡
Last year, I was diagnosed with a blood cancer called APML. 🧡
Today, I am in remission and A LOOOOT of blood transfusions helped me make sure I stabilized.
On my birthday 🥳 today, I ask you to consider donating 💰 or 🩸 to support your local blood bank.

The good people will celebrate healthy habits with you!
June 9th, 2020 changed my life.
My ER Doctor blurted “YOUR BLOOD IS HORRENDOUS, I THINK YOU HAVE LEUKEMIA.”
Well, I did and from that moment I decided I’d do whatever it took to make sure I stuck around.
Proud to say after 110 IV treatments, I’m done with 1/2 of my chemos!
Me taking my work laptop out at my cancer center.
My nurse:
“Oh that’s so nice did your priest give you that sticker? So he’s with you during treatment?”
Me:
Yep.
@TwitchPluto
Take a moment to reflect where you were at and who you were 5 years ago. It’s easy to focus on your day to day struggles but you’ve grown, survived and changed for the better. Don’t forget that 😊
New challenge: Stop downplaying your strengths. When others compliment you - agree with them and say yes I am _____. It's weird and uncomfortable at first but it feels heckin' good to start celebrating your wins.
Start training your brain to recognize your accomplishments 🧠💪
Today is my first day back in treatment!
Yes, I’m still in remission.
I have about 5 hrs a day to read work documents and browse the best memes on the internet.
8 more months of until I’m done 💪🧡.

Gaming is a community, we do things together 🙌 .
Heading into surgery now. Getting my port removed (chest catheter used for blood draws and chemotherapy). Lots of feels but mostly excited for this milestone.
If you’re seeing this, consider donating blood to save a life like mine 🧡✨
See y’all on the other side 💕

Partners attending TwitchCon:
If you're interested in mentorship of smaller Creators through a networking event. LMK (like this tweet, respond, dm, engage in some capacity).
Floating idea right now but would love to know who would make time to build up our growing streamers.
I’m blessed the type I have is one of the most treatable and curable types of Leukemia that exists. My treatment is going well and could be seeing full remission in the next few weeks.
It happened quickly and I’m lucky that my sister and
@OnlyJaximus
we’re there to help me
Through my initial health decline and every single day since.
Cherish yourself and your loved ones, speak your truth, out your abusers, do the things you’ve always wanted to do, donate blood, and ALWAYS stand up for what you believe in.
Life can take such unexpected turns.
@AnneMunition
Thank you for sharing Anne. I’m also half Korean and felt growing up I was too Asian to be white and too white to be Asian. Using your position to help younger people find connection and inspiration makes me want to consider how I’m owning my identity for good too.
Today marks 4 years at Twitch 💜😊💜
I've grown from running the Curse App Sponsorship / Community programs to leading the Partnerships Business & Strategy team.
Proud of the work that I do every day with incredibly talented and passionate folks.
My boyfriend went to make me some rice and he just straight up didn’t clean or rinse the water. He looked me in the eye and set it into the cooker.
7+ years of trust destroyed by a single moment.
Wake me up from this nightmare 😱
Time is strange these days.
A full calendar year now passed since I was diagnosed with Cancer, Leukemia.
All done with chemo for a few months, there are many takeaways from my experience, but the big one for me is wonderfully cheesy:
🧡 Think less, do more.
Kalief Browder died by suicide after facing traumas in jail as he was held without trial for 3 years for allegedly stealing a backpack. He spent 2 years in solitary confinement.
Kyle Rittenhouse murdered two men and people rallied to help him make a $2 Million dollar bail.
Cant believe its been 3 years at Twitch.
I began by leading the Curse App sponsorship team and today I lead up Business & Strategy for Partnerships.
Every day I strive to continue making a Twitch Partner a viable career. TY to everyone whos been apart of that journey with me.
Ding! 5 years working at
@Twitch
Thankful for all of my coworkers, our creators, and community members who make Twitch the special place it is today.
Can't wait until we can all celebrate and connect in person again!

I love when my viewers ask me cute questions like What high school did you go to?, What was your mother’s maiden name?, What was the name of your first pet and the last four of your social security number?? 😉

Looking for test subjects whether it’s people or fur babies!
I need to tell people.
My friend recommended this Shiatsu Massager and I think it may single-handedly be my best purchase of 2020.
If you struggle with chronic pain, frozen neck, shoulders, hips, BUY THIS.

Last year I was diagnosed with a blood cancer.
Cancer is confusing, difficult, unfair, and cruel.
Cancer also teaches you to audit your life, relationships, habits, and challenges you to grow in so many ways.
Thankful to still be here
🧡
We should just start giving fines to people who don’t social distance and/or wear masks.
Think that’s too harsh? Myself and others could pay with our LIVES.
