One factor that contributed to this newfound confidence has been hosting her own Twitch festivals. According to Rabbit, the platform boosted her self-esteem and eased anxieties she’s lived with throughout her entire life. ”Īlthough being part of the Twitch community in any capacity is rewarding, being a streamer really affords people the opportunity to have a stake in its growth.

However, some words of encouragement paired with the spark inside of her said otherwise. She was hesitant to accept the position as it was a massive opportunity that she feared she’s ruin.
