The Safety Advisory Council had it's first meeting today!
I'm honored to be part of the team, very glad to bring my voice and perspective to the council.
It's been a hectic few days - (cont.)

I made comments that were taken out of context and sensationalized that do not represent my role at twitch.
I am not twitch staff. I understand how what I said was misinterpreted, and will continue to iterate on my communication to leave less room for misunderstanding.

I'm empowered to have a voice, a platform, and a community despite a deluge of harassment.
I can exist and will continue to.

I want to be clear that my role is not to moderate or address specific streamers or incidents. I’ll be offering my perspective and advice on issues, challenges, products and policies more broadly, and am excited to bring my voice to the table

I've always fought for diversity and marginalized communities. I will continue to do so on this council, and use my voice to advocate for, and empathize with, communities that are often silenced.

I believe in the Safety Advisory Council’s mission, and I can bring a valuable perspective to it. I’m glad that Twitch wants to address some of the issues we see in the community. I am proud to be one of many voices that will contribute to us collectively having real impact here.

Thank you
