This view from @villahonegg.” She also shared this set of photos from the same trip, captioning it, “This is arguably the most beautiful and scenic pool in Europe. 😍 It’s so exclusive that only 4 people are allowed in at a time and it’s usually fully booked!”
2. She Hikes
Henderson spends a lot of time outside. One thing she likes to do is go hiking. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself hiking all over the world. Henderson posted this reel of herself hiking in Australia, captioning it, “This beautiful waterfall is located in the tropical forrest of Australia. We actually jumped over this railing, and scaled mossy rocks to get to the middle of the river for pictures.” She also shared these photos of herself hiking in Horseshoe Bend, captioning it, “This is Horseshoe Bend and it’s a part of the Grand Canyon in north Arizona! From this spot I’m standing, I’m 1,000 feet above the river which is equivalent to about a 99 story building 😮 This part of the Grand Canyon is nearly 5 million years old! Have you ever seen the Grand Canyon?!”
3. She’s All About Positivity
Henderson opened up about her career in an interview with Medium. In it, she was asked what advice she would give to others. “I would encourage any young person to practice a lot of self-control and to surround themse`lves with positivity,” she says. 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.”
