Tell us why you wanted to make a difference for amfAR?

As someone who is HIV+, hoping for a cure one day, it was important for me to work with amfAR to find a cure.

What inspired you to make a difference through fundraising?

Fundraising will help amfAR gather funds to continue their research to help eradicate HIV/AIDS altogether!

What motivated you to become a content creator?

I started streaming on Twitch during the pandemic to continue to reach my fans globally and I realized it helped with my overall mental health while in quarantine. I still stream at least once a week to continue to have a good time with the community I built on Twitch!

What are some of your favorite rewards or incentives you used while fundraising?

I usually give away Ongina merchandise or make up and other unused, fun things I find in my drag room! LOL. But there are also other rewards in chat like Ongina VS. English words cuz sometimes I have a hard time pronouncing words.

What are your philanthropic goals for 2021?

I want to be able to raise $10,000 for Team Ongina this year with this collaborative WAD streaming event and I hope we reach our goal!

What sort of games do you prefer to stream and which ones are you most excited about this year?

I usually only stream Dead by Daylight but I do, on occasion, love streaming scary games and Animal Crossing.

What makes a game great for streaming?

I don’t actually know. I think the best thing to stream is what I enjoy playing and if the audience comes to watch that, then that’s the bonus!

What game franchises define your taste?

I honestly don’t think I have one! I’m all over the place!
