life updates ✨ (Patreon)

Hiiii my loves!

I have some amazinggg updates for you, where does one BEGIN?

1. First things first? Your girl is now an AWARD-WINNING Creator! I won the bCreator Gaming Creator of the Year award on my birthday last month (October 10th)! I am the first Black woman to have won this award. I could NOT have done it without the votes from you all, my amazing community. Thank you for your support over the years; it is immeasurable and I am extremely grateful for the heights you continue to support me to.

2. I have launched an exhibition in Bologna, Italy as part of the Foto/INDUSTRIA Biennial of 2023 on October 18th! I was selected as one of 12 artists globally to be a part of this year's theme, which was GAME. I took this as an opportunity to showcase to the world, through The Sims, how beautiful we are and should be seen in games as we are in reality. My exhibition is called, "Seeing Me, Seeing You, Seeing Us". My journey began with the desire to see myself, which expanded as I saw you all and wanted you to see yourselves. And through my exhibit, I invited the world to see us as we deserve to be seen. The works of art that we are, away from the negative stereotypes of poverty, violence, drugs, racism, slavery etc.. I wanted to showcase blackness in ways they'd never seen before.

The exhibit will be live until the 27th November 🙏🏾!

I had a videographer with me, so we will be making a mini documentary about the show, which I will be uploading to my YouTube! So make sure you subscribe you don't miss when it drops! Patrons will get early access to the video!

3. I was selected as a 2023 TikTok Trailblazer for Black History Month UK! What this means is I'll be doing some cool things with the TikTok team this year, with the aim of reaching and inspiring as many of you as possible over on TikTok!

As you can imagine, October was immensely busy, right up until the very end of the month with things I haven't even mentioned yet! So, I'll be working on some content this month for you all, but I am also planning for next year and what new ventures we'll be taking!

Thank you again, so much, for your support over the years. We're seeing the live manifestation of your love, support, encouragement and motivation. I would not be here without you all, as I always remind you. And just know that with every new level I embark, I keep the mission of our visibility at the forefront. Beyond Sims, I am working diligently to create the best gaming experiences for us, where we feel seen, appreciated and are able to tell, play and experience our stories how we deserve to be seen.

Keep up with me on Instagram and TikTok if you're not already! You're all apart of this journey!

Speak soon!

Love,

Dani 💛✨
