“I value the community that I have online...so very much that if I go more than a few days without streaming, like I miss them. I miss my friends! It really is a wonderful way to connect. And especially right now, in a time when so many of us feel isolated and not connected, it's been a brilliant and incredibly therapeutic thing for me, and I hope for people who are able to watch that type of content as well.”

— Trisha Hershberger
