Hey everyone! I’m Lori, a full-time content creator in Austin, Texas. I’ve been streaming on Twitch since December 2013, and creating content—including blogging, video, and design—since 2011.

I’m a marketing specialist in the moto industry & stream 2 to 3 times a week!

My stream’s main focus is making IRL content & focusing on community-based games. Now and then I’ll bust out some FPS games too!

I got partnered on Twitch on June 25th, 2015, when I was really into streaming Halo: The Master Chief Collection & Halo 5: Guardians. Since then, I’ve branched out into the various forms of content creation from video editing, making TikToks, creating short-form content, and endless photography & a lot of traveling!

Streaming has opened so many doors- I’ve met my husband through Minecraft/Halo & all of my close friends throughout the years have come through the community we have built. For the good and bad, I’m ready to continue my content creation journey as long as possible.

WHY “GIRLHERO”?

I get asked “Why ‘GirlHero’?” a lot, especially from newcomers. So, I’d like to share the story of how I came up with the name.

Around 2011, I was getting really heavily involved with comic books and geek culture because of the group of friends I was hanging out with at the time. I enjoyed reading comics on superheroines who kicked major ass and made you feel like you could do ANYTHING!

At this point, I was getting out of a very toxic relationship & everything in life at that point seemed so negative. I was also getting more involved with keeping myself busy with attending comic conventions, playing more games, and anything that kept my mind occupied from all the bad times that were happening.

It hit me that I wanted to share my experiences with people- so I decided to start up a blog! I was thinking hard about what I’d want the name to be… I’ve always loved the word “Hero”. There is a song written by The Bouncing Souls called “Kids and Heroes” which pretty much is about…

“…Going through my life so helplessly dependent on finding other heroes, only to find that I myself have become a hero to others”…

Mixing my love for female superheroes and becoming my hero, I named myself GirlHero.

In the end, from good or bad experiences in life, I’m continuing and hoping my content can help others find a safe/cozy space to be in.
