Have you ever seen the Grand Canyon?!”

3. She’s All About Positivity

Henderson opened up about her career in an interview with Medium.

As a Professional Streamer and Influencer, you subject yourself to the opinions of people online every day. Yes, I am talking about other kids, moms, dads, and spiteful people hiding behind a keyboard, watching you be successful. There are loads of people who will try to bring you down any time you make big moves for yourself. It is important to have a lot of self control in order to avoid and not entertain those types of people and also, surrounding yourself with positivity will help you remember your mission, your worth, and help you obtain your goals when diving into this type of industry.”

4. She’s Charitable

Henderson is all about supporting others and causes. She opened up about how she decided to start doing this to Medium. “When I was 16, my father suddenly became fatally ill,” she revealed. “It was really hard to watch him struggle, and I had seen him work so hard my entire life running his own business. I knew from that day forward that I wanted to be something and do something impactful with my life. I signed up for my first pageant where I could advocate for my dad’s health situation and try to educate others on how to avoid such illnesses. I ended up winning 3/3 years that I competed, and raised close to $5,000.00 in charitable funds for Children’s Miracle Network. As I dove deeper into the gaming industry, I have kept raising money to keep my loved ones healthy with organizations like FredHutch, which I just raised another $4,563.00 for in a single stream a few weeks ago. I think it’s very important to keep these things in mind as my impact in the world increases. I want to keep giving back because I know how awful it is to have a sick loved one. If I can do anything to help prevent someone from feeling that hurt, then I want to do that.”

5. She Supports Other Women

Henderson wants to support other female gamers. She even founded an all female gaming tournament. Henderson talked about why she wanted to do this to Medium. “I actually have experienced a lot of ‘women hate’ in my career. I noticed very early on that there is a weird trend online in the gaming world to just hate on women for existing. I don’t know where this started or really how to stop it, but I had to try! Statistically, the percentages of male gamers is about 54%, while female is 46%. So, it’s pretty 50/50 when it comes to actual numbers; however, it is pretty rare for females to publicly express their love or interest in gaming due to the amount of hate they get when doing so. Because of this, I started the first ever all females PUBG tournaments in the scene. The tournaments featured hundreds of women who all competed to win a sponsorship package and raise money for charity. The tournaments ended up having over 166,000 live views and raised over $5,000.00 for charity. The community was amazingly supportive, and it really allowed the women in esports to lean on each other and share their love for gaming.”
