Valorant Twitch streamer Jessica Kim was one of the fastest growing streamers during a massive 2020 year for the Amazon streaming platform, amassing over 77,000 in her six months of streaming.
“It’s actually kind of crazy” Kim said of her rise on Twitch, according to Dexerto’s Lauren Bergin. “Before Valorant came out and before I started playing any games, I was really lost on what career I wanted to go down. Streaming was never something that I thought I’d be able to do.
“Even when I was just doing Just Chatting there was a period in time where I was really insecure about what I was doing, and honestly didn’t think that I should continue streaming. Then I found games, which is insane – just a single hobby can turn into a career.”
Kim also spoke about the challenges that face female streamers, while stating she really wants to support the women in the industry.
“I really want to support women in this industry” she said. “The amount of sh*t we have to get through is just insane. The comments, the misogynistic men in our chat; it just blows my mind how people think that it’s okay to have this mindset. I really want to uplift women content creators, streamers and gamers. I think they’re amazing.”
Jessica Kim is excited about her future on the Twitch platform.
“After graduating university I really want to be able to just breathe and be able to focus on streaming,” Kim said. “I’m just so excited to do that.”
