We had the good fortune of connecting with Faydra Black and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Faydra, other than deciding to work for yourself, what was the single most important decision you made that contributed to your success?
To not be ashamed or hide what I choose to do. I am open and honest about all aspects to my career. In the current climate, We do what we need to do to be successful. And supply and demand lol

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I created online gaming content via Twitch, which is where I started. I also make content for Tiktok. My content there is mostly humorous but I do delve into mental health. I talk about my depression and anxiety on a regular basis. Lastly, I make adult content as well via Onlyfans.

Nothing about online creation is easy. People think you can jump right in a bam you have a following. Unless you get lucky with a viral video, it takes work. So much work.

I do what I do to be able to have a flexible schedule to be a single parent. I don’t hide the adult content from her as well. I want her to grow up and not be ashamed of her body or her sexuality!!!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Go to the Vortex hands down. It is an experience that everyone should have at least once. Would definitely want to play tourist. Check out the Zoo and the Aquarium (I have passes). Maybe the Coca Cola museum. If it is the right time of year, We would have to go to an Atlanta United game. The people and culture that has evolved around our team is legendary and a must to experience. Der Biergarten is great place to garb food when we are downtown for a game.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
The Stream Atlanta Community powered by Twitch has helped me connect with so many amazing people and be a part of some unique events and experiences through the Atlanta area.
