This has to be one of the biggest affirmations of my esports career thus far. I am super honoured to be part of the

Class of 2022😭First Kenyan esports athlete to get this dub, baby🇰🇪 When the Most High ordains something is yours, it shall be yours... (1)
Never in my wildest dreams did I think this would happen 😭😭😭❤️💜✨I am super honoured to be the first Kenyan esports athlete to join the
@redbullgaming
family. I'M A FREAKING RED BULL ATHLETE NOW! My brother Karan Patel is also a part of the
@redbull
family! (1)
Welp. 5th place out of 15 players in the mixed Tekken event and winning best female player ain't too bad for my third international tourney. I get to bring home the gold and glory🥇 Praise be to the Most High (1)
The 254 meets Japan! Yesterday, I had the honour of being featured in the Asahi Shimbun, one of the five national newspapers of Japan. (And even got the cover🙆🏾♀️🙈🥰)
Here's to more wins and putting Kenya on the esports map!🇰🇪
Baby's first arcade stick😍💓This was gifted to me by my cousin and I absolutely love it. I have used it a couple of times and it is something I will get used to in due time. May it serve me well as I level up some more in Tekken.
Sherry’s eFightPass program for FGC players who are from countries that have difficulties getting visas to travel and compete in the US is why I was able to fly out to EVO. She saw my potential even when I struggled to see the full vision at times 😭❤️💜✨🙏🏾 (1)
Some big news that's been in the works from last year. I am pleased to announce that this June, I will be attending the GIGA'GAMES CANOC ESPORT SERIES in Guadeloupe. I am not only going to be a competitor in the International Tekken 7 Cup (100% dedicated to *WOMEN*) but...
Wow! Okay, I got a ton of new followers so I guess it's time I introduced myself. Hi, I'm Sylvia but I go by QueenArrow in the gaming (Tekken) community. I'm a Lars and Xiaoyu main and an aspiring world-class Tekken player. I am also a content creator on YouTube and Twitch.
So... finally submitted my thesis for grading. My four years in law school are finally coming to a close. This has been a passion project of mine and I'm honestly super happy 😭😭😭 I hope this thesis can be used in creating more inclusive laws in Kenya...
If you’re going to be flying on Ethiopian Airlines, let’s just say you’re going to be seeing me for the next two months as the cover star of their inflight magazine Selamta Magazine❤️💜✨
I won my first match of the day but unfortunately lost in my second match against NYTobi. That’s it for my EVO run. Thank you for supporting me everyone! Now time to enjoy the rest of the event✨
Soooo, this has something that's been in the works for quite some time and one hell of a long story and one with a happy ending. I finally have a U.S. visa and I'll now be in a position to enter FGC events in the States😭❤️💜✨A huge thank you to

The year is about to come to an end and I'm going to reflect a bit on this part of what my 2022 journey has been like. I've been to seven different countries this year, one of which I was invited as competitor, the rest I was a speaker. In all honesty (1)
193rd out of a whopping 1590 players. Not too bad for my first EVO. All things considered, I played out of my damn mind, especially since I got sent to losers in my first match which was discouraging but I had to compose myself and (1)
Who's that girl?👀 It's such an immense honour to be among such great talent. I'm looking forward to our journey and creating beautiful things together 💓💓💓🙏🏾🥳 Thank you so much for having me!
Yeet! Last year, I did my athlete headshots with
#redbullkenya
and with the talented
@99thsense
at the helm, nothing but magic comes through 💜❤️��🤩These are some of my favorites from the shoot and I’ll share some more in due time🥰💕✨
Damn, it kinda feels surreal that I’ll actually be traveling to Las Vegas for my first EVO😭❤️💜✨flights and hotel are set. Still trying to get a Day 3 Arena finals ticket but I’m honestly just counting my blessings at this point💯
I'm super excited to be one of the speakers and panelists at the Inaugural Commonwealth Esports Forum preceding the Commonwealth Esports Championships. It'll be exciting sharing my thoughts and insights on being a young person and leader in the esports field❤️✨yeet!
Big milestone for my streaming career: I got my first payout today. Thank you to everyone who made this possible and continues to support me regardless of my wacky streaming schedule. I appreciate you all❤️🥰🙏🏾Be abundantly blessed💯

A girl turns 22 today...😅I wish I could celebrate in better circumstances but alas... I usually have a theme for my cake every year but no matter.

Another major affirmation of my esports career is here: I was listed in the
@BD_Africa
Top 40 Under 40 Women. It has been a long road in getting folks to see and understand the power of esports not just in Kenya but throughout the African region…(1)
Start of my 22-24 hr journey back home. Las Vegas: you were amazing💜❤️✨Thank you for the opportunity to participate and show my greatest greatness on such a challenging stage. Better post once I’m back home Inshallah💯
I've become a little more deliberate in how I practice Tekken. I've began taking notes as I play/rewatch my gameplay and noting down what's giving me problems and going back to the lab...I hope that in due time my block punishment and character knowledge will be stronger 😅
#NewProfilePic2021
2021. Happy New Year to you all. Made Top 8 last year, grew my brand a little more, learned a difficult lesson about knowing my worth. Time to take these lessons and make my dreams come true this year and show the world what exactly what I'm made of...🙏🏾💓
Waiting for my flight to ZA for Red Bull Kumite and it’s just occurred to me that this is my first trip to South Africa that didn’t require me to apply for a visa😭❤️💜✨ (1)
It's been a stacked year of ups and downs for me. And I'm honestly reflecting in gratitude for everything that has come my way. First off, I got to be a competitor and content creator for one of the greatest teams in the FGC. Secondly, I managed to finally graduate with my L.L.B.
My Tekken 7 journey has not been easy but one affirmation is knowing that I am making a difference in the world. It is an honor to be featured in

Game Changers series alongside many incredible athletes. Link is below...

First time I've had my fingernails done and this is honestly quite the experience for me. I feel...feminine (for lack of a better word🤔) but in a good way✨ to opening myself up to new experiences 🎉
My time with
@UYU
has come to an end. It’s a bittersweet feeling as they enabled me to reach some of my goals and objectives as a person, competitor and content creator. I couldn’t have asked for a better and amazing team💜❤️✨🙏🏾Thank you for giving me and my region…(1)
