If I ever wrote a book about my life story & the things I've done in my work life,
I swear to you that you will be mind blown.

I started working in family business since I was 8
I set up 1 bar & 1 super beach club by age 21
I own [A] top global esports org by the time I was 28
#Esports top 5 milestones:

Age 17:
Getting my first $5000 sponsorship for my team BMW (best made warriors).
Also being one of the only girl in the world to compete & captain a top local CS1.6 team.

Age 20:
Casted SC2 GSL in Korea, one of the first female caster in esports.
Age 21:
Worked for own3d to help define what is today streaming in esports (we got fucked by Justin tv (twitch now) scheming & TSM - but that's another story for another day. Ps: fk u Reginald)

Age 22:
Was the first REAL team manager in esports (what it is today) ...
(...) and fought for player care & raised industry standards as a whole.
I defined what is today an Industry Standard that is followed until today (This work was done over 3-4 years by screaming, raging or consulting with TOs).

Age 23: Won #TI3 with @theAllianceGG
Before any haters come into my thread & ask:
How do you do all this between the age 20 & 22, "time don't make sense"

Well. It was not possible to survive on esports$$ back then. I worked 2 jobs outside of esports WHILE being a single mom. So. I had 4 full-time jobs kindda. 🐸🚬
After 2013 I went full time #esports. But before that it was a fucking grind.

I'm grateful for all the opportunities & chances people took on me. But you better believe I fought tooth & nail just to exist & get them.

I was not lucky. I worked hard. Very fucking hard. 🥵🤠
This is why I take chances on people under 23 all the time.
I had achieved. I believed. And I chased that dream like a tunnel vision demon.

A LOT of people today says they want to work in esports. But MANY don't actually wanna "WORK" in esports.

Welcome to the grind if you are.

If you are starting to follow the #ChinaProtests & #ChinaUprising - the people have erupted because of Xinjiang & other cities having death tolls due to the incumbency of their govt, inhumane treatments & remarks of the govt LIVE on air after these deaths.

Corruption is evil af.
MANY Chinese people are fking fed up with Xi Jinping's Zero Covid policy which has led to rampant violence across China.
Thugs & jailed criminals have been employed to fight both IRL & online. Censorship is REALLY huge there.

Wechat is (never was) a secure platform. Open secret
if you live in China or have any Chinese friends. You can pay $$$ to check ANYONE'S msgs.

Many citizens who wants a #ChinaRevolution has now flooded to Twitter over the past few days. They CANNOT write on Weibo due to extreme censorship & legit cars with jammers driving around.
