Pokimane—Imane Anys online—is a Moroccan-Canadian streamer and content creator whose public career can be traced back to 2013, with consistent activity on Twitch and a parallel presence on YouTube. She became widely known through gaming livestreams and conversational “Just Chatting” formats, boosted by the popularity of titles like Fortnite, League of Legends, and later Valorant, alongside short clips that package stream highlights into highly shareable moments. That mix of gaming, commentary, and quick-turnaround video helped her stay searchable across queries such as “Pokimane Twitch,” “Pokimane YouTube,” and “Pokimane streamer.”

From 2020 to 2022, her profile grew through major platform milestones and high-visibility appearances that bridged gaming with broader internet culture, including a large Among Us session connected to U.S. political figures. In 2021, she was recognized in Forbes 30 Under 30 (Games), and her role as a co-founder of OfflineTV remained a defining part of her public image—even after she announced in 2023 that she would no longer be a full-time member of the collective. Around the same period, she expanded her projects beyond streaming by launching her snack brand Myna in late 2023 and debuting her podcast Don’t Tell Anyone, signaling a creator-business trajectory rather than a single-platform identity.

In 2024, she moved into a more flexible phase not tied to exclusivity, while also taking part in mainstream tech moments such as a guest appearance at Samsung Galaxy Unpacked. In 2025, she was included in TIME’s inaugural TIME100 Creators list and continued to show up in in-person collaborations with widely recognized names: she appears in Bella Poarch and Sub Urban’s “Inferno” music video, has been featured in shared content with Valkyrae and Cinna, and has also appeared alongside Faouzia, as well as in European crossovers with creators like Lena Situations, Chloë Gervais, and French streamer Maghla. That collaboration ecosystem—combined with consistent multi-format output—helps explain her ongoing relevance across gaming, lifestyle, and pop culture.
