Long ago in a distant land…
…hehe okay, not that intense.

Pixel Sistas actually started during a simple hangout. Tati and I were talking about the mental health podcast I had already created, and somewhere in that conversation, the idea sparked—what if we started a podcast together?

At first, we had no clue what we’d even talk about.
After multiple conversations (and a few passionate debates trying to pick a niche), we realized something important—we didn’t need to box ourselves in.

We decided to talk about what we love: gaming, cosplay, anime, the rise of the fashion side of the industry, movies, and everything in between. If it’s part of the culture, we’re talking about it. Period.

But Pixel Sistas became more than just conversations.

One of the biggest reasons we created Pixel Sistas: Afro Gaming Podcast was because we saw a gap—and honestly, a problem. Talented cosplayers, streamers, artists, and creatives weren’t getting the recognition or support they deserved. We saw people being judged for not having the budget for high-end cosplay or being able to make one even though they were creating magic with what they had.

And we saw the darker side too—the trolls, the bullying, and an industry we loved slowly shifting into something that didn’t feel as welcoming anymore.

So we decided to do something about it.

Pixel Sistas is here to celebrate the brilliance of Blerd gaming culture and highlight what it really means to be a creator in spaces where you don’t always feel seen or supported. We created this platform as a safe space—for new gamers, rising creators, and anyone who wants to make an impact in the community.

Our goal?
To make you feel like you just pulled up to a kickback with your people—where real conversations happen, where creators are uplifted, and where we talk about how to make this community better for everyone.

Because at the end of the day…

We’re real people.
We’re real gamers.
And we’re passionate about what makes us BLERDS. 💜
