The Untold Truth Of Pokimane

Imane Anys, better known by her screen name Pokimane, is a Moroccan-born video game streamer who very quickly ascended to streaming success. Here are some of the need-to-know facts for anyone looking to learn more about one of Twitch's top streamers. Initially, Imane attended McMaster University to study engineering. In her Draw My Life video, she explains that the program was rigorous, requiring students to take an excessive course load. The demanding nature of the engineering program resulted in her friends switching majors, leaving Imane feeling alone and stressed. To add to her growing headaches, the heavy course load meant that streaming became less feasible as a side hobby. However, Imane would soon find a way to engineer success on her own terms. Though her schoolwork consumed most of her free time, Imane's streaming hobby was beginning to pick up steam, and she eventually gained a substantial following. Imane started to make so much money from Twitch streams that she ultimately convinced her parents that it was more lucrative to pursue streaming full time, and the rest is history. Imane's decision to drop out of college was about doing what made her happy, and she encourages her fans to follow their hearts as well. When accepting the Shorty Award for Twitch Streamer of the Year, she took a moment to acknowledge how far she's come, and how much things have changed in such a relatively short time. She said in her speech, "A year and a half ago, I was stressing about Chemical Engineering exams, and now I'm playing video games for a living. So please, anyone out there, if you have a passion, follow it. It will be worth it."
