Hello, I’m nicoo! (she/her/hers) From 2008 to 2015, I was a competitive SF4 and LoL player, playing in tournaments and arcades across San Diego and So'Cal. I took a break from esports to focus on my degree. I'm incredibly passionate about the study of rhetoric & politics and social justice. I've spent many hours involved with local grassroots organizations like the [Kuya Ate Mentorship Program](https://kampsd.wordpress.com/about/) and the [Artists Building Community Project.](https://www.facebook.com/artistsbuildingcommunity/) As for Twitch, I've been streaming on and off since 2017, mostly playing LoL and watching Scarra, GDQ, and EVO. *And then the [pandemic](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytK1zDPPDhw) happened.* So I'm staying inside until it’s safe to eat KBBQ again. **The perfect time to get back into competitive gaming!** Although I love ranked, what I love even more is the community on Twitch. My biggest goal is to create a cozy space for y'all to kick back, meet other lovely people, and make memories you can tell your grandchildren about when they ask, "What did you do during quarantine?" *Well, back in my day, we had a game called Animal Crossing: New Horizons...* This is a loving, inclusive space and we stan great content, so don't be afraid to talk about your stream or your favorite creators here! My mods and I also try our best to create a safe space for marginalized groups. You're all worthy and so, so loved.

**This space is pro-BlackLivesMatter and pro-DefundThePolice.** We hope to preserve this space to empower and uplift black folx and their voices. If you do not support these values, you are welcome to stay, but please do not take space in the chat to discredit the movement. **Any mention of the following topics will result in one warning then an immediate ban:** - Racist comments - AllLivesMatter - BlueLivesMatter - Disapproval of rioting or looting - Questioning black emotions, protest, and responses to police [**Resources for Black Healing**](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Eg2S10NPYhAVEMKwicHn2SHpT6KKW0aP/view?fbclid=IwAR3XEn0YrBlNdA2EEdw8bhBjMZLKRnnitgDppyUTLaXgL5aY4FCWlUQ3qUk) **Resources for Allies** - [A guide to allyship](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CIfMQED_B444Y-K8kAqUOgq8xrSFdSrjFBRnyK6wmz4/mobilebasic?fbclid=IwAR2liLlVrOixL18bTNYqX5a8LCOCNOx3up7JZhTcCcjq07YWKiU9G86UViI) - [An Essential Reading Guide For Fighting Racism](https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/ariannarebolini/george-floyd-amy-cooper-antiracist-books-reading-resources?utm_source=dynamic&utm_campaign=bffbbuzzfeedbooks&ref=bffbbuzzfeedbooks&fbclid=IwAR3TugIFzJD-qSDWOr2AF_D8CTLlmHfgCGqyk1_l2HA1od68KJ8-xWksZ0U) - [Research-based solutions to stop police violence](https://twitter.com/samswey/status/1180655701271732224) - [A response to those who disapprove of rioting and looting](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sb9_qGOa9Go) - [Things you can do to support the resistance from home](https://docs.google.com/document/d/18pK8rO8E4Z9oCUFSVn6SntjpBmLA0ilINxJkp1qZhL4/mobilebasic?fbclid=IwAR0m94iDOI_QM_d5LLF5WhrBf2WqyEn1oes16u8bjg0Zicn3eIkJhHaghqA) **Donate** - How to donate to BLM when you have no money: [1](https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/p960x960/84077079_3188983614447658_6700784443646279680_o.jpg?_nc_cat=103&_nc_sid=110474&_nc_ohc=pOgqCNGI2ZYAX88BQlZ&_nc_ht=scontent-lax3-1.xx&_nc_tp=6&oh=ae2c789e838fac3188455adc0c7f54e8&oe=5EFB1F72) | [2](https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/p960x960/101235440_3188983664447653_8572504957582835712_o.jpg?_nc_cat=109&_nc_sid=110474&_nc_ohc=jXyCZ95d8vUAX86gy-y&_nc_ht=scontent-lax3-1.xx&_nc_tp=6&oh=6b6d4270991536614414c4fe22598f10&oe=5EFB784B) | [3](https://scontent-lax3-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/s960x960/101840055_3188983741114312_7065703848869888000_o.jpg?_nc_cat=106&_nc_sid=110474&_nc_ohc=Sc45L09ARtUAX-RChwR&_nc_ht=scontent-lax3-2.xx&_nc_tp=7&oh=64cb889600adeea8ac5006edf68e263e&oe=5EFBA7D4) | [YouTube Link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCgLa25fDHM) - [Minnesota Freedom Fund](https://minnesotafreedomfund.org/donate?fbclid=IwAR0XBI2e4s6ciH3fhvC8WgscNbTcZ5ebDAhzlnOAdrKLiUKrtrOs2nUukww) | Pays cash bail for those imprisoned for criminal or immigration offense (including protesters) - [Black Visions Collective](https://www.payit2.com/fundraiser/98548?fbclid=IwAR24XAR-Z6q_sSUbDc01l4gpBDu7t2hKSywL2wkFUuu_89McS1dlS8gnPEE) | Black, Trans, and Queer led organization based in the Twin Cities organizing to dismantle systems of oppression and violence. - [Reclaim the Block](https://secure.everyaction.com/zae4prEeKESHBy0MKXTIcQ2?fbclid=IwAR0rJhRJecxcY_UnYZOBZtD3z_4A1lfNLuLjDFXrT4LkH7MvFGZxsJ4EphM) | A coalition to demand that Minneapolis divest from policing and invest in long-term alternatives - [Minnesota ACLU](https://www.aclu-mn.org/en/donate?fbclid=IwAR2kdZ7Ixgf8M3p8Eqa-7uPlrQc2kKdoeUFOIEQdveYxUpB2xXhzPFpmSBA) | ACLU of Minnesota promotes, protects, and extends the civil liberties and civil rights of people in Minnesota through litigation, lobbying, and community engagement.
