Tournament. $3,000 in Cash Prizes, in-chat giveaways, and a special guest panel all in one night.
The way
@jackieaina
explained this PERFECTLY and I just brushed on it last week with how major the Black influencers in the beauty space really brought together a community.
For those that don't know, here are just a few Black Women and Femmes I know in the
@PlayApex
community. We are content creators, competitive players, tournament organizers, esports org founders, and even casual players. We span all ranked levels and we've BEEN here.
After four eventful years, your favorite Apex Legends TO is finally a college graduate, majoring in Business Analytics with Data Science and a Data Science Minor! Now, onto Grad School!
I couldn’t graduate without crediting the game that helped me get to where I am today in my content creation journey. Thank you
@PlayApex
for providing me a platform to express my creativity and for helping me show the world that we can all be champions.✨
Alrighty, LAST CALL for Apex Legends players in the Black Community! Black is Legendary will be taking place again during BHM. Tag your favorite cracked content creators to see if they're interested! This tournament will be very competitive, so experienced players only, please!
Had to wait until I had a break from classes to drop my first album!😉 I am so excited to announce my participation this Black History Month on
@Twitch
as a part of the Black Brilliance Carousel! We’ll be streaming Beauty, Final Fantasy, and Apex all this month!
Fans asked, and Twitch listened! The Black is Legendary
@PlayApex
tournament starts in ONE HOUR.
We talked to
@wemakeup_steam
about her 60 player tournament with $3000 in prizes! 🔥🔥
Details 💢
I make my tournaments to highlight Black voices, as a Black Woman in the Apex Legends community. I put together a general roster of people that I'd like to reach out to but also try to mix up who's invited (if they choose to respond to me😅) because people deserve a fair shake.
The news is OUT! Your girl is officially a member of
@thenoirnetwork
!! I am so thrilled to be a part of a collective of amazing Black Women and Femmes in the industry and I cannot wait to see where this journey takes me!!🤩🤎
💥TEAM ANNOUNCEMENT TIME!💥

Are you ready to meet some of the amazing players competing in the Black is Legendary Apex Tournament?! Make sure to drop everyone a follow and tune in at 5 PM EST!
Last month I was near tears because I couldn't solidify a sponsor for my event for Black History Month in time. Today I organized a $4.5k full-lobby tournament for Black players on the Front Page of Twitch. Words cannot describe my appreciation for this opportunity.
✨CALLING ALL BLACK WOMEN AND FEMMES IN BEAUTY & GAMING!✨
I've been working on a project over the past few years to help provide a space for us to learn more about beauty and lifestyle, and I want to be able to put it into action now. Read below for more!!⬇️

4 Tournaments. 5 orgs. 14+ staff. 16 talent. Over 150 participants. Countless hours of working since November. And $30,000 in funding. All to elevate the Black gaming community. I’m done.🥹😭💖
31 years ago today, Mae Jemison became the first Black Woman to enter space. Last Thursday, I played
@StarfieldGame
and was so happy to see
@bethesda
honor her in the game. Thank you, Mae, for your service and for inspiring young Black Women everywhere to achieve their dreams.👩🏾🚀
In five years, I have officially graduated with two degrees: my Bachelor of Business Administration and Master of Science in Business Analytics. The youngest in my family to ever do it, and, needless to say, I'm really proud of myself!💜

A lot of people’s coded racist reaction to Peach celebrating her pred accomplishment is exactly why it needs to be celebrated in the first place. Minorities in esports have been marginalized from the start and your ignorance is exactly why it has to be screamed from the rooftops.
I regret to inform everyone that Team 13 has been disqualified from the Black is Legendary Apex Legends Tournament and Black is Legendary Tournament Series due to violations of the tournament's terms and conditions. (1/5)
I genuinely dislike going through the cycle of content creation where the goal is to "work hard so you get noticed by big brands" and then the big brands in question take your work for granted.
Hi
@erinasimon
and
@XSET
! My name is Makeup and this is my submission for the
#BlackXcellence
Initiative. I would love the opportunity to create a fashion brand fully inspired by the multifaceted experiences of Black Women and Femmes in gaming.

Esports will never be completely safe when this culture of racism, misogyny, and homophobia is ingrained in it. That's why we're not seen or represented as often in these spaces. They're literally not made for us in mind and we have to make a concerted effort to change that.
Happy Monday everyone, and to those who celebrate Happy Hanukkah! Here is the list of over 70 creators and gamers participating in the Winter Wonderland Apex Charity Special. See anyone you know? Make sure to tune in on December 29-30 to watch them play for

Happy Labor Day y’all! Just as an official FYI, if the SAG-AFTRA Video Game strike is approved, I will not stream or make content under any of the struck companies. This includes participating in and/or hosting tournaments under struck titles (Apex Legends, OW, etc.).
From that, to people complaining on their streams about me and speaking as if I don’t know how to create an event, post-tournament life has been difficult. I try my best to uplift the community. I really do. I’ve been working on Black is Legendary since December ‘21.
I refuse to take some esports professionals seriously when all y’all do is spew hatred, ignorance, and risk the lives of your audience to seem edgy. But me and other marginalized individuals have to grin and bear it and claw our way just to get recognized. I absolutely refuse.
☀️INTERVIEW OPPORTUNITY!!☀️
For any women gamers in their 20s, I have a student from my college who's performing research and would love to hear your experiences on how you got into gaming (both competitive and non-competitive) overall! If you're interested please lmk!

the one thing I learned in the past 24 hours is that some people really are your biggest haters bc why did my former friend admit they stopped interacting with me online bc they didn't like seeing me happy without them and I- GIRL WHAT LMAO????🧍🏾♀️
It's always "we're asking for handouts" or "do it yourself" until you see us do it ourselves and get successful, and then it's a sudden pop-up opportunity. But that's just an observation.
Thank you so much to all the tournament staff, talent, and participants for

I'm in the process of considering opening up the Black Apex Community Circuit Discord Server more, but I'm extremely cautious of how to do so as I've never led a larger community server before. Does anyone have any tips?

Black people, PLEASE take care of your mental and physical health this weekend. Step away from social media if you have to because the news is saying that this is about to be bad.
I want to thank you all for checking in on me and for those participants who let me know they enjoy my events. Community means a lot to me, and I am honored every day that I can create in this way and that you trust me to do so.
It's official!! I will be graduating from Grad School in 11 days!! If you would like to support my graduation fund, please feel free to click on the link here!❤️

Hi everyone!! While in the process of planning the upcoming BHM Apex tournament, I would love to connect with some brands and companies that would love to sponsor the event! If you know of a brand that would love to support Black creators in the FPS community, tag them below!
I really just planned, produced, and directed a 10-hour live stream event, raised the same amount of money that we did over 20+ days in 8 hours, and still completed 2 assignments before 11:59 PM all on the last day of classes?? Love that for me😌
