Speaker 1:

Welcome. Welcome back to another episode of Uploaded and Unfiltered, the podcast in which I, your host Jermaine, interviews another content creator in regards to their journey thus far. Before we get my guest on the line, I'm going to read her bio so we can get a little bit of information on her, and then we're going to have an awesome conversation. The female phenom is a horror enthusiast and full-time content creator. She is also a self-taught special effects makeup artist, mom, wrestling and true crime fan. Additionally, she identifies as a gore whore and is the founder of Scream Reapers. Without further ado, I'd like to introduce my guest for the evening, the one, the only the female phenom. Thank you and welcome to the show.

Speaker 2:

Hi, I love that intro, my favorite one. I love it.

Speaker 1:

Hey, I'm using this as an opportunity to try to do like some voice acting for people's intros.

Speaker 2:

Oh my, it's, awesome.

Speaker 1:

Phenom, welcome to the the show. How are you doing today? I'm good. Thank you for having me. No problem at all before we even, like I know I went at the beginning of these episodes. I usually go over the flow for people. We're still gonna stick with that. But gore horde caught me off guard. Yes, like I'm scared to, I'm scared to google that one only because okay, okay now, now we're gonna get into it. So I horror games, being horror games, have a funny history. I started my channel because I wanted to get over the fear of playing horror games, and so I had this section called scared cripples, where I'd play whatever people told me to play and I remember that man.

Speaker 1:

Anyways, can you explain what a gore? I think I know, but all right.

Speaker 2:

So my definition is and I hope nobody is looking at me like this this lady need to be evaluated. But okay, so I worked in the ER for about 10 years as a nursing assistant and I saw everything from gunshot wounds to, uh, things poking out of orifices like it so and for some reason I thought that that would like like make me give me a weak stomach or stuff like that and then I started using that as, like, how to perfect my special effects makeup.

Speaker 2:

Oh so I'm looking at things and I was trying to be discreet about it, but I'm looking at, like, the human anatomy and I'm looking like, oh my God, like, for instance, this one guy had like he was a construction worker and he had a pole like going from the back of his head and his eyeball was like. And everybody is like I'm not going in there and I'm like I'll do it. And they're looking at me like what? And I'm like this I said I got special effects makeup coming up for Halloween. I need to see how this looks. And I'm looking and I never forget it Like the doctor, the attendant physician for that night.

Speaker 2:

He was like you're a horror fan, aren't you? And I'm like, yeah, and then he. So my nickname on the unit was gore whore because I love gore. So that was the running joke of the er, that I'm the gore whore because I'm always the first one to go in with like bandages in my car and I'm like I'll go in and help. And they're looking like what is wrong with you? I just couldn't help it. I couldn't help it, so I it just stuck with me ever since oh, that is awesome and you know what.

Speaker 1:

You need somebody in the spot to be like yo, I got this because a pole through the back of the head.

Speaker 2:

I don't yeah, oh my good, and I'm coming home and I'm and I'm like Mom guess what I saw tonight in the ER and she's like let me get my Pepto-Bismol.

Speaker 1:

Yes.

Speaker 2:

But she sat and she listened and she was like are you okay? And I'm like yeah, I'm good. You know what it's?

Speaker 1:

not real, it's just somebody. It's not me, right? That's uh, that's crazy. I can't. I don't envy you, but hey, everybody has their special talents. Yes, yes, phenom, let's go ahead and get this conversation started, even though we already did, but how did?

Speaker 2:

you get started in content creation. I was vlogging my wedding. I got married in 2013.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

And I was vlogging my wedding like DIY, because I did my whole wedding by myself, oh damn. So I was vlogging it. And then I started doing like mommy vlogs and stuff like that. And then my oldest son, he was doing stop motion on YouTube. Oh okay, so I was like, well, what is that? And he was like, oh, it's stop motion. And then he's showing me all of these things and he's showing me how to edit on YouTube. And then I left it alone. And then, friday the 13th, the game came out. Oh yeah, and I was playing with some people and one of the ladies was a content creator and she lived here in Baltimore. Okay, and I'm playing the game and when I'm Jason, I'm making all of these like Jason voices and saying quotes from the movie, and everybody is like cracking up.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

And she's like do you stream? And I'm like, no, what is that? And she said, well, you ever? She said so, do you watch YouTube? And I was like yeah, and I started naming all of these people that I watch, like Jazzy Guns and Mira and Poise, and who did I mention? Corey Kenshin, burleazy, all of these people. And she was like you would really be good at this. And I said playing video games. And she said yeah, and I'm like okay. She said well, you know, she added me as a friend.

Speaker 2:

We started becoming close and she's like did you think about streaming yet? Like she was really pushing it and I'm like I don't know. And she's like you would really be good at it. So she told me she was like, um. I said well, I don't have any. You know equipment or anything. She said you don't need it, just um. She said you got a playstation and xbox. She said you can stream from there. And she sat down one day and she showed me how to do it. And then people started asking like, well, how can I donate, how can I do this? And I'm like what is that?

Speaker 2:

and she said girl she said let them help you or whatever, and I was like I don't know if I'm and at that time I like I don't know if I'm, and at that time I'm like I don't know if I'm that good for people to be paying me. So it's like I feel bad. I don't want to take these people money Like it was a mess.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

And she said well, listen. She said, um, you'll be fine. Just you know, do be yourself, You'll be fine. And um one day we were talking and she said, well, I'm upgrading my setup and she got, like this seven thousand dollar rig.

Speaker 2:

Okay, oh my god and I came over to her house and I was like, oh my god, this is nice. And one day, one saturday, she said, well, um, where are you? And I said, well, I'm just out running errands with the kids. And she was like, are you close to towson? And I said yeah, and she said, well, meet me at the micro center, I have something for you. So I was like, what is she gonna get?

Speaker 2:

I'm thinking you know something, like because I know I was admiring her mic and she said well, you know, if I get another one, you can have it nice so I'm thinking she was going to give me a mic and she upgraded her setup and she gave me her old pc oh nice yeah, and she said um, I said I can't take this.

Speaker 2:

And she was like listen, she said you're really good at it. She said I heard your story about how you you know you were battling mental health and the one thing that got you back feeling like yourself again was gaming. And she said just promise me that you'll use this PC and you will be happy again. She said I said well, how much do you want me to give you? She said I'm not taking anything. She said I just want you to do good and I was in tears, I'm like bawling and I'm like I can't take this and she said please. She said I always wanted to do this for somebody you know, because I never had anybody to look out for me. She said so, just pay it forward and just do good things.

Speaker 2:

And got home and I called everybody and I'm in tears and I'm like she gave you this PC and they were like yay, you got it. You got it and I never forget it. I hooked up the PC. I went to Walmart and bought me a Logitech camera. She gave me a blue Yeti mic and I had these two lamps.

Speaker 2:

They were like these led lamps and I was looking on youtube and I'm like how can I add lighting to my street? And this guy, he took like printer paper and folded it in half and I was like like wow, he just made soft lights. So I had these two. I had like these two Amazon boxes and my PC and one monitor and I had these like makeshift soft lights, my blue Yeti mic and I was like I'm in business now.

Speaker 1:

Hell yeah.

Speaker 2:

And it just took off every since. It just took off every since, and I never look back.

Speaker 1:

That is amazing. I love hearing about people's first setups because it really doesn't take that much to get started.

Speaker 2:

It doesn't. It doesn't.

Speaker 1:

That is awesome. You know what? This is a perfect segue into the second session, because you mentioned something in regards to when you were first coming up and receiving donations and feeling a certain way about that. So in 2024, we're jumping to our current mindset. You are a partner streamer, you're doing amazing things out there. Where's your mindset at now in regards to the donation piece, just because I'm super interested in that? And then, overall, how are you feeling about your content?

Speaker 2:

I feel good about my content. I tried the variety streamer thing and I was not happy. My first love is always going to be Hara and I felt like that For one, there wasn't enough horror streamers out there, especially who look like me, and I wanted to contribute. I don't want to be the poster child or the forefront, I want to contribute to that pool of horror content and I just I wasn't happy. It was like I feel like I'm playing this game for everybody else, not for myself. And then when I made the switch back to strictly horror content, I'm at peace and I'm I'm fine.

Speaker 2:

As far as, like the donations and stuff, I always feel bad because of the state that our economy is in and I see so much of. I always get the people in my chat that's like you know. Well, I really want to donate or I really want to sub, but I'll do it Friday and I'm like y'all do not have to do that. Like just share my content. That is free. Like and I can't stress that enough like I would like to be able to, you know like plan a future for my kids based off of content creation. Like I want this to be my career right exactly.

Speaker 2:

But what a lot of people do not understand is that they go to streaming and then they think that they're just going to get like hundred dollar donations and hundred subs and it doesn't work like that. So where you make your money at is through sponsorships, through partnerships, and the only way that you can get those opportunities is by getting your name out there. So I always tell people, while donations are important, if you ask any content creator, unless they are like sitting at high viewership, like 10 000 views and stuff like that, they're not going to make you know the amount that you know everybody is expecting, right people.

Speaker 2:

A lot of times people see check mark and they're like, oh you rolling in dough exactly, that's not that's not the case right it's a it's a lot that goes into it and it's a lot that um, this industry is really rough, especially for black women it is, and moms it's really rough. So I, while I appreciate the donations, I always push for people to retweet my tweet.

Speaker 1:

Hell yeah.

Speaker 2:

Share my TikToks, put me in your stories on Instagram, please. You know what I mean, because that's where we get the traction and get our foot in it.

Speaker 1:

Yes, I think would you say it was safe to say that, like the checkmark, unlike any of these platforms, but specifically Twitch, like that's just another tool for you to get more sponsorship.

Speaker 2:

I think it is because you do have a lot of companies who I've even heard companies when I pitch things for screen reapers out here. I even had a company say, well, how many is partners?

Speaker 1:

And I'm like why is that important?

Speaker 2:

but I'm you know what I mean and it's like I'll even have them say well, you know, I'll say, whenever I have an opportunity, I also say, well, when you get a minute, I would like to talk to you about spring reapers. I have a lot of amazing creators and it always hurts my feelings when I hear them say, well, right now we're just looking for partners, or right now we're working with partners, and I'm like, oh my God, like it's so many talented people on this team. You know what I mean. I try not to have a negative outlook, but it kind of puts a bad taste in my mouth because I know how many of my friends are talented, how many of my team members are talented, and I know how it felt to be sitting as an affiliate and not having any direction or any help Right or any help right.

Speaker 2:

So it's like and I always tell like gaming companies in in uh meetings or when I have the opportunities with twitch to meet with them, their staff like y'all really need to listen to the affiliates, y'all really need to listen to smaller creators because those are your supporters. You know what I mean. Not to say like as a partner I just said f the game but like when you think about it and you look at these creators who are at that level, they're hungry and they're looking for those opportunities. So when they get that game key, they could possibly like blow your game up for the next six months.

Speaker 2:

Versus where a partner, they got this long ass log of all these games that they have to play and they have to create content for they're only going to and it's not, you know, the shade. Like the game isn't good, right, but when you're booked and busy your deliverables, if you have to play that game for four hours and you're getting paid for it, you have to do that and then move on to the next game. Versus someone seeing the longevity and all of the future dlcs coming out and all that stuff, like I try to pitch that so bad to these companies. But they're just like they.

Speaker 2:

They don't hear me yeah, they don't hear and it's so frustrated exactly yeah, because they're not in this space.

Speaker 1:

They don't hear me. Yeah, they don't hear, and it's so frustrated. Exactly yeah, because they're not in this space. They don't see how again how hungry affiliates are yeah, if they get a game that, like this, is my bread and butter. This is the only thing I'm playing.

Speaker 2:

There's a lot of content coming from that.

Speaker 1:

Yes, yes so, in regards to the stream re, how long have you had that team put together and what do you see that going in the future, or what would you like it to go?

Speaker 2:

Oh my goodness. So Stream Reapers was a idea that I had in my head. I was a member of some amazing organizations when I first started out and I kept asking in these organizations, does anybody do special effects, makeup, does anybody play horror games? And they were like no. But then when it was time to collab, they would collab with me. But I felt bad because I felt like am I making them do something they don't want to do? Felt bad because I felt like am I making them do something they don't want to do? And then I would stream and people would come in and be like oh my god, you love horror games and you know da, da, da da. So I was looking around for like horror spaces.

Speaker 2:

And then I would get in those horror spaces and they weren't so safe or I felt like I was out of place and I'm like, oh my god, like I have to do something right, and I wrote this idea down on paper.

Speaker 2:

I'll never forget it and I stayed on it for like a year yeah and then, um, I found out that brand, um, yo, brandy, she's, um, the founder of, uh, brown Girl Gamer Code and she is into horror as well. And one day her and I were like talking and I was like Brandy, I got this idea and she was like, what is it? And I was telling her and I said, but I feel like I need to wait. And she was like, girl, what do you wait? We need this. And when she said that, I was like, okay, it's time yeah and she was like you gotta get this thing rolling.

Speaker 2:

Like she was on me. Like she was on me, like did you figure this out? Did you figure that out? Do you need help? Like she was so supportive and gave me that push and I was like okay, I need to do this right.

Speaker 2:

And I remember when I introduced it, everybody was so excited and I was like okay, this is scary, but this is good right and I never forget it, like at that time I got like two applications coming in and the rest were like invites of like people who I loved and I admired and I really wanted them to be a part of it. And then when it first started, I think we had like a group of like 10, maybe 15 members, yeah, and it was cool. And then I started getting you know what are you opening up applications? And I heard about it. I would like to be a part of it and I was like not really happening.

Speaker 2:

So then we open up applications for that yeah but that's um a quarter and then we got like five okay and um we got interviewed by a well-known um our blog called dread central nice and I really wasn't expecting it to like go far. You know what? Just my mindset, like you know, being in this business, I was like, okay, that's good. And then after that interview, I started getting DM. Okay, and I mean DM after DM, and I met with my admins and they were like Phenom, you're going to have to open this back up.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

It got to the point where they were like DM and the admins like um, have you talked to Phenom, Is she opening up applications? And then, like some of the Reapers were like you know, I have this friend and I'm like, how can I tell them no, like they're my favorite people. So, yeah, I was like okay, I said I'm going to open it back up and the plan was to, because I wasn't expecting that many applicants. So the plan was to, like you know, have the application open for like 30 days and then we make the decision afterward. Kryptonite, we got over. I want to say I counted about 270 applications. What? Yeah? And I was like I had a panic attack because I'm like I can't tell all of these awesome people no, but at the same time, I was so grateful and I was so like blown away and I'm like, oh my God.

Speaker 2:

So I was like, okay, we got to narrow this down to like 10 or 15. And I'm like, how am I going to do this? And I had my admins help. Oh my God, they're so amazing they were like you know looking at apps and you know giving their opinion, and then we got like our group and then they were, they got in, they were so happy, like, and that made me feel like I was doing something right.

Speaker 2:

That is awesome. Yes, so I would. And I I felt bad because I was like I saw the tweets where they were like, well, unfortunately I didn't get in, and I was like, no, I hate, I hate those tweets, I hate them and like I felt bad. So then I started saying, well, okay, if stream for like this amount of time, or if you, you know, show me that you really want to. I didn't say this to them, but I'm thinking to myself like, well, there may be a possibility that we'll do invite.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

So I let, I think, one or two more people in and then they were like so excited. And then we got people who were not women of color who were so excited that they forgot and they were like apologizing and like, oh my God, I didn't read, I just saw.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Scream Reapers was open and I felt so bad. Hey, I said I appreciate. I just saw. Yeah, scream Reapers was open and I felt so bad. Hey, I said I appreciate your enthusiasm. But you know, this is just for us For right now.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

So oh, that's awesome Of course we got the the trolls. Who came in it was like, well, I don't understand why this you know Normal stuff, but it was such A good thing. Where I See Scream stuff, but it was such a good thing, um, where I see screen reefers is I want some of my members like hosting like the fangoria awards, doing red carpets for like horror movie premieres.

Speaker 2:

You know, I'm I'm working on things where I'm trying to get them exposure and I'm trying to make sure that they are learning, um, if not all of the things that I have learned, the things that you know, just come past me by word of mouth, like I try my best to like speak their name in rooms because they deserve it, hell yeah and I want a lot of, like you know, gore whores and final girls out here that look like b to like you know, showcase, you know our talents, like we got so many amazing creators like anywhere from horror artists, like horror novelists, um, oh my gosh, we even have, like, um, people who have experience in unboxings, red carpet premieres, movie premieres, all of those things and I'm like they need to be seen like really bad.

Speaker 1:

First and foremost, congrats on going through with an idea that you had written down over a year ago. I feel like stories like this always is a good example to hey if you have an idea, just see what happens with it, even if it's a year, two years later if you had the idea. I think it is telling us it was a good one, so you might as well oh yeah see what happens.

Speaker 1:

Also, just because it's me and I know I know it sucks to tell people that they can't do something and they really want to, but like you've made something that people were like losing their minds and get into like actively, like, oh, I would love to be a part of this team. That is, that's awesome.

Speaker 2:

I like like shout out to that but I'm so sad it's like a catch 22. Cause I don't want anybody to feel left out and I don't want to feel but I can't like take everybody, because I didn't want one of those teams where and this is no shade to other teams, but I wanted something that was like family and like community-based. You know what I'm Like, because this is my tribe, like because these are this is my tribe, like screen briefers is my tribe. So I wanted something that was small, but I also wanted it large enough to where, like, people know who we are exactly, but it's not and I wanted it to be.

Speaker 2:

I wanted everyone to be able to build relationships and not feel like that they can't like, communicate or hang out with me per se. You know what I mean. I wanted to have that relationship with them because I need that. You know what.

Speaker 1:

I need them just as much as they need me because I was lonely out here you know what, even though you said no shade to those scenes, I'm throwing shade at those scenes because if you start one of these big teams and you have no vision, for that team oh fuck you. That's all. That's it all right. So we're gonna go ahead and slide into our next section, which is the lessons learned section. What lessons have you learned specifically because you started creating content?

Speaker 2:

oh my gosh Contracts Ooh okay. Contracts, contracts, contracts. I cannot stress that enough. And I'm speaking to every content creator, not just part, because affiliates can make moves too. Y'all can do y'all big ones, without a checkmark. I can't stress that enough. But I had this idea. I had a favorite restaurant.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

And I had this idea that I wanted to do a makeup palette that was based off of my favorite restaurant, Gotcha. I had a meeting with them and I pitched this idea Like I worked really hard on it I think I worked on it for like six months idea like I worked really hard on I think I worked on it for like six months. Like I want to say, half of the three months was me like talking myself out of it and the other three months was like me actually doing the presentation, doing my script, all of this stuff like I worked really hard and I went, I had the meeting, I pitched it to them and they were like oh well, you know, this is a really great idea.

Speaker 2:

We never thought of this and you know well, right now we're not working with makeup artists and content creators, but we will definitely keep your contacts in my Rolodex and I was sad, but at the same time I'm like. You know it's not a no, so I'm gonna.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

And six months later I was looking on Twitter and my idea was pitched was like you know, this premiered my idea that I gave them. They actually decided to partner with a well-known makeup company. Wow, and I was so hurt, I was like they stole my and you, you know, you hear about these things all the time, yeah, and you think, well, you know, I'm not big enough for that to happen to me, or I'm not well known, or I'm not even, you know, at that point where somebody could do that to me.

Speaker 2:

You know what I mean yeah and I was so hurt and I remember I got on the phone with one of my friends and I was talking to them and she was like, well, did you do a NDA or a contract before going into the meeting? And I said no, what is that?

Speaker 2:

and she's like oh girl, I we need to sit down and talk. And she told me at that time she was like you need a entertainment lawyer, you need this, you need that, and I'm like what? I'm just playing video games. She's like no, ma'am, you in the big leagues now, yeah you.

Speaker 2:

A business now, yeah you taking meetings Like you have to protect yourself, and I'll never forget that, and it's like I can't really, and a lot of people are like are you still eating? That? I would be so and you know I'm not gonna lie. I was like you know f them and right, I'm never going in that place again, but I had it was.

Speaker 2:

It was a lesson. I couldn't get too upset because you know they're not going to say to me well, to protect you for this meeting, you should probably have this and you should. They're not going to say to me well, to protect you for this meeting, you should probably have this and you should.

Speaker 2:

They're not going to say that because, they are going to assume that I already know this and they're going to assume that everything is OK, just like I did Right. But I have later learned about contracts. I have also learned my worth. I can't stress that enough. There's a lot of companies who will try to lowball you. They will try to push you to do things that you don't want to do or that you don't feel comfortable doing. So I think the biggest lesson, along with contracts, is to stay true to yourself. Don't tolerate and don't accept less than what you will work.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, and I think you could take that everywhere.

Speaker 2:

Oh yes, oh yeah, that's a life, lesson right there.

Speaker 1:

Dope. That's a thank you for that. I never contracts has not come up in the 50 episodes we've done so far. So I wish I one day I'm gonna have awards like this. Is the first time this topic has come up. Here's your award I'm just spitballing. Oh all right, phenom. We're gonna jump into one of my favorite sections, which is the advice section.

Speaker 1:

This is where we tell another content creator of your choice a piece of advice that you've either wanted to hear yourself or you learned, or you just think would be a good to know. So the floor is yours I have a couple.

Speaker 2:

The first thing is boundary a lot of people I know. When I entered in this space I was battling mental health and I have real bad social anxiety and my therapist, she gifted me a year subscription to playstation network and told me get in there, get in those multiplayer games and meet friends make friends. So when I entered into this space, I my sole purpose was to like play video games and make friends with people who like the same things that I like, and I didn't take into consideration that everybody doesn't have the same intention.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

So I always try to tell people to set boundaries If something doesn't feel right. Or if somebody doesn't feel right, then trust your instinct. Yes, also, make sure that you have contracts in place. If you cannot afford an entertainment lawyer, try to ask questions about someone who is knowledgeable or who has been in this business for a long time. That will offer advice and help. I know a lot of people sometimes are scared to ask questions because they don't want to. They have a fear of rejection and then other creators have been burnt so many times that they just not want to answer that DM.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but I always tell people try not to take it personal. You never know what that content creator has experienced or went through, just you know. Move on to the next one and see if any somebody else to help you. You know what?

Speaker 1:

I mean Like yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2:

You might get five no's and you know 10 yeses, so just keep at it until you gain the knowledge that you need. Also, another piece of advice is if you feel like that you want to do content creation, do it.

Speaker 1:

You don't need equipment.

Speaker 2:

You don't need a mic, you don't need a cam, you don't need top of the line equipment. Just go for it and let your you know, just rock it out and have fun. You know, just rock it out and have fun. Exactly. Lastly, try not to base your, try not to set your goal and your expectations and content creation based off of where you see someone at, or thriving, at that moment, because you never know what it took for them to get there Right. So just because everything is like it seems like it's going well for them or it seems like they are like thriving, you know, just talk to them and get some insight before you assume because you might not have those same expectations or goals that they did and it could be a different situation. So I always tell people also what you see like it's somebody's numbers or somebody gaining partnership. Don't look at it like you know, why isn't it me? Just look at what it will take to get there and you can't wait to get there exactly hell.
