Been on the bench for way too long.
I’m ready to bring my energy (and my afro) to any and all talent opportunities for the rest of 2023 and 2024.
My priority is VALORANT, but I am open to sports and other games like CS and Rocket League.

Nickelodeon.
Growing up, they were pivotal in mine, and a whole generations development as children and adolescents.
In 2020, they have proven that they aren't afraid to side publicly what is right.
This video played on all of their channels for 8 minutes and 47 seconds.
Wow.

Going to a movie theater for the first time in 3 years and VALORANT commercials (plural!) are playing before the movie.
I legit can't escape this game 😨

Sadly, Its almost unheard of to see groups like this massively support the African American community.
More of this, please.

For those saying "Think of the children!"
First of all, calm down, Karen.
Second of all, it is your job as an educator and role model to explain and teach your children about social issues and why POCs appreciate movements like this.
Don't like it? Change the channel.

Last day on campus complete.
Through @FullSail, I was able to fulfill my dream of being the first ever college graduate in my family line.
Not only that, but I can officially say that as of today, I am a full-time commentator.
Onwards and upwards, can't wait for what's next ❤

Dicey leaving 100T just makes me sad dude.
Such a young player with an insanely bright future, Ethan is an amazing player mechanically but Dicey was NEXT UP man.
Something just doesn't feel right, GLHF @diceyzx ❤ :(

i’ll talk more about this soon, but for the first time in 4 years, I have no duo.
improvement for us came at a cost, incessant work ethic + unrelenting criticism, it was a fast track to try to be the best but, between us, it took a toll.
im at peace knowing that this duo gave me a colleague and a friend for life.
thank you to anyone who showed love to us over the years, it means a lot.

i need to know more about the guy next to him
he is next to the 2nd coming of kennyS and he somehow ONLY moved the muscles necessary to fist bump
is he a robot? what emotions can he show? is this clip mundane to him? is his teammate that good? I NEED TO KNOW.

finally leaving LA after valorant champions 😿
i don't think ill ever be able to experience an event the way i did ever again.
it felt so good being able to stand back in the fan fest and take in the unreal amount of mutual respectful admiration for both the game and the people who have been a part of the community in any way (nvm the fact that the fest rocked my sox!!)
to those who stopped me or showed me love in any way, know that it was felt. a very sincere thank you and i hope to see you again someday.
this game rules.

I have landed safely in Madrid and I have settled in.
Unfortunately, I have the regrettable task of informing you all that @SullyCasts is no longer my friend.
@VellyCasts has now taken his position.

Today was my 1st ever time going clothes shopping.
The most I've ever bought is a shirt or or 2, It's all been online 😵.
It's mainly self-esteem, I really think I look terrible in 95% of clothes while shopping.
Glad to be making baby steps as an adult, peep this sweater 😳

- I was the 1st person in my family to ever graduate college.
- Worked every VCT Challengers + achieved my 2026 goal of working with a AAA dev.
I met people and did things I could only dream of doing in my lifetime because of esports.
hope to be saying that every year :)

nobody talk to me for the rest of the day
i'm legitimately sad over this, whoever gets @WedidOfficial, guarantees themselves their best pickup ever. EVER.
After a lot of consideration, the Valorant team has decided to move @WedidOfficial to a sub role for the remainder of VCT 2021.
Wedid will remain on XSET for as long as he chooses. We thank him for everything he's done for us, & we will support him fully moving forward. ⚔

Four hundred and fifty days.
Multiple life changing events happened over this time, but there was always one thing holding me back.
Until now.
I am the winner of the @ESEA/@Gamefuel MDL Next Big Caster Challenge.
Thank you all for the support this last year.
We did it. ❤️
