I'm sistakaren! I'm a passionately enthusiastic streamer who focuses on charitably supporting amazing causes, being a leading voice on issues relating to diversity and inclusion and gaming and beyond, maintaining a safe, inclusive space for all, creating art while discussing important social issues, playing games with an emphasis on skilled but fun gameplay, and teaching others how to improve their skills! After December 2023, I will be moving on from gaming streaming to medical content creation! Stay tuned for details on that transition!

The Galaxy is my community built on kindness towards others, having fun, and allowing people to be their honest selves. I very much value inclusivity and welcome everyone here. The Galaxy is a safe space that does not tolerate rudeness towards others. My only rule is that people should be respectful to others. If you enjoy the vibe of the stream, definitely join my [Discord](https://discord.gg/anTMhS3)! Not only will you have access to updates about the stream, but it's filled with awesome people, and we chat about issues ranging from politics, pop culture, #BlackLivesMatter, living with ADHD, and more!

I am a Starlight Children's Foundation Streaming Ambassadors Alumni! I'm very passionate about Starlight because of their work bringing happiness to sick kids and their commitment to outreach programs targeted to BiPOC children and families! Interested in raising money for Starlight? Click the image above to learn more! My goal is to raise $5k by the end of 2023 to fund a third gaming station at the University of Maryland Children's Hospital!

COMING SOON!

Because I have a very good day job, I do not accept personal donations. Instead, I focus my energy on raising money and awareness for causes that I believe in. However, through my generous community's support, I have raised nearly $40,000 for various causes, including the Starlight Foundation for Children, Doctors without Borders, Black Girls Code, Feeding America, the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Color for Change, The Advancement Project, and more!

I have been playing Dead by Daylight since late 2016 and have more than 5000 hours in this game! I am an incredibly altruistic survivor main who always goes for flashlight saves but will die to save the team! I am also an experienced billy main with over 12k chainsaw hits but focuses more on having fun than getting 4ks. I firmly believe that DbD is meant to be played for fun, so I do not care to play optimally on either side. I care WAY too much about meaningless stats and am currently top 10 in protection hits on the [DbD leaderboard](https://dbd.onteh.net.au)! Click the image to check out my stats! I can answer most questions about DbD and am always happy to chat. I have open lobby SwF streams from time to time and am happy to coach anyone on how to get better with billy or flashlight saves! However, I am VERY rusty as I have not played much in the last 12-18 months, so bear with me!

I am an artist and have designed most of my emotes and artwork for my channel! I am also in charge of the art design for Sistas of the Fog, and the DbD community managers commissioned me to make animated emotes for their official BttV channel! I enjoy streaming while I work on my commissions and often get amazing input from chat! I also occasionally do emote speedruns, where I complete an emote in two hours or less! Chat can also participate and can win prizes for the best emote! I do not take commissions at the moment, as I am very behind on charity commissions from last year. That being said, I hope to start giving away more art commissions soon. Stay tuned! GenGenitalZ has also designed some of my layouts, channel art, and many of my gif emotes! He is incredibly talented, and if you are interested, please contact him on [Twitch](https://www.twitch.tv/gengenitalz) or on [Twitter](https://www.twitter.com/gengenitalz)! Also, my Starting Soon, BRB, and Ending screens are done by the amazing [Mojo97!](https://www.twitch.tv/mojo97) She is incredible to work with and funny af to watch. Go check out her commission site [here](https://www.mojo97.com/)! You can see all of my past and current projects on my [Trello](https://trello.com/b/SKFs8sP5/art-commissions)!
