This initiative aims to celebrate the diverse voices and cultures within the Twitch community while highlighting the positive impact of black streamers in creating spaces that welcome authenticity.

Twitch.tv/DeejayKnight, known for his variety of streaming encompassing sci-fi and gaming, brings a unique flavor to the Twitch landscape. Additionally, Twitch.tv/thormungandr, a non-binary variety streamer, adds further diversity to the mix.
To complement the campaign, Twitch’s Black Unity Guild will be hosting a series of livestreams, including the “Black is Legendary Tournament featuring Street Fighter VI” on February 3rd, showcasing the talents of Twitch Black Guild members. Another exciting event is the “BHM Latin Guild Cooking Stream” on February 16th, where participants will cook a mystery recipe related to American soul food live on stream.
