Pokimane

Pokimane began her career as a content creator in 2013, posting videos on YouTube, although it was on Twitch that she achieved global fame. In 2017, she surpassed 450,000 followers and received the award for Best Twitch Streamer at the Shorty Awards, establishing herself as one of the platform’s most influential female figures. Her approachable and authentic style allowed her to build a strong community and become a leading figure in gaming and digital entertainment.

In 2020, she signed an exclusive contract with Twitch, renewed in 2022, which reinforced her position as one of the platform’s most representative faces. That same year, she participated in a historic event by joining an Among Us stream alongside Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, combining politics and gaming with millions of viewers. In 2021, she was featured on the prestigious Forbes 30 Under 30 list in the gaming category, confirming her cultural impact. At the same time, she diversified her content across several YouTube channels, including Pokimane, Pokimane Too, Pokimane VODS, and imane, the latter focusing on vlogs and personal topics.

In addition to her work as a streamer, Pokimane has been a key part of the OfflineTV collective, a space that fostered collaboration between content creators and became an incubator for digital talent. Although she announced her «graduation» from OfflineTV in 2023, she remained involved with the group through the OfflineTV and Friends project, thus maintaining the collaborative essence that defined her career. That same year, she launched Myna, her own brand of healthy cookies, and debuted the podcast Don’t Tell Anyone, exploring a more personal and entrepreneurial side of her career.

At the beginning of 2024, Pokimane announced the end of her exclusivity with Twitch, paving the way for multi-streaming and a more creatively free phase, during which she made it clear that she no longer wanted to rely on a single platform. That year, she participated in Samsung‘s Galaxy Unpacked event and in a charity stream alongside figures such as Bernie Sanders, Mark Cuban, and Mark Hamill in support of Kamala Harris’s campaign. In May 2024, she publicly revealed that she suffers from polycystic ovary syndrome, sparking a significant debate about women’s health on social media.

In 2025, her influence expanded beyond streaming, as she was recognized on the first TIME 100 Creators list, which highlighted the most influential creators in the digital world. She also appeared in d4vd’s «What Are You Waiting For» music video, cementing her presence in popular culture. With over 9.4 million followers on Twitch and an average of 13,000 live viewers, Pokimane remains the most-followed female streamer and a benchmark in the industry. Her ability to reinvent herself, adapt to new trends, and diversify projects has made her an icon of digital entertainment, gaming, and global content creation.
