One month out from the most intense, yet most rewarding experience of my life! It still feels like a dream š
ā¢
I think back to that very 1st day & feeling my heart beat out of my chest. So uncertain of whatās to come but so fucking ready to game hard. I came to play, to win & to show who I am as a black woman & a gamer.
ā¢
This game was insane letās be so forreal! There were moments when my back was against the wall & yet I fought hard to survive through honesty, empathy, and passion. Was I perfect? Uhm, hell tf not. Did I struggle? Absofuckinglutely. But I kept fighting, adapting & growing.
ā¢
All 84 of those days I poured my heart, soul, & literal blood (thanks Wall Comp), sweat, & tears into this game. Win or lose, I stayed composed, remained humble & displayed sportsmanship & grace. Every high, every low, I faced head on & gave it everything I had. Navigating through this game was far from easy but being able to build/rebuild connections, proved that a strong strategy & a big heart can truly coexist.
ā¢
While I may not have sat in the final two chairs, I am so fucking proud that I proved I was an all around player socially, strategically & athletically. Losing in the end didnāt tear me apart or make me bitter. My true victory was showing up everyday, gaming hard with those damn M&Ms & walking away with a heart full of gratitude for every moment I got to experience.
ā¢
I canāt lie⦠setting a record by securing safety for seven consecutive weeks (the most in U.S. history) w/ 5 POVās & 2 HOHās is a badass win if you ask me š
ā¢
Anyway, Iām grateful to have shared this journey with the 16 other houseguests. While life outside the BB house may be different, I know I couldnāt have played my best game without them. They pushed me, challenged me, & inspired me to play harder every single day.
ā¢
My heart is full knowing I gave everything I had until the very end & to come out of this to all the love & support is beyond anything I couldāve EVER imagined. Iāll cherish this feeling for the rest of my life! š
Hi yāall š still getting settled back into my place (finally). Iām running on zero sleep (no surprise there) lol BUT here are a few of my fav pics Iāve been sent of me (:
Thank you ALL for watching this season & for the love & support. Words canāt describe the feeling! Oh & one more thing⦠sorry about flushing all those M&Ms š
1 year ago today, I had my very first conversation with a casting director for Big Brother & I had NO idea how much my life was about to change.
Within 1 week, I was recruited, redirected toward Survivor, then brought right back to BB. A roller coaster to say the least, but a ride I wouldnāt change for anything.
Itās been such a surreal journey & Iām SO grateful for every moment of it! S/o @jesse.tannenbaum & @bigbrothercbs š

#OIKOSPartner Welcome to a day in the life of a gamerš® Streaming for a living is literally a dream, especially when Iām playing for hours⦠but ya girl still needs snacks that help hit my protein goals. Lately Iāve been grabbing OIKOS Remix between matches. Itās easy, high in protein, and actually tastes so good!! Because the last thing we need is a gamer crashout š #OIKOSRemix
#OIKOSPartner | Long streaming session ahead? Because same. OIKOS Remix helps me hit my protein goals during long sessions, with bold mix-ins and 11g of complete protein. If it keeps me streaming longerā¦Iām in!!! #OIKOSRemix
itās 2:32am. I finally finished a huge project Iāve been working on & decided to treat myself to some late night Marvel Rivals games. Iām having so much fun learning Invisible woman & putting all the advice I asked for on Twitter, to use! (still have A LOT to learn but challenging myself has been worth the grind)
ā¢
So, hereās a really happy, determined & sleepy gamer girl who is doin her best to get closer & closer to making all her dreams/desires come true! Sweet dreams & goodnight š
