OnceAwakened

Hey, I’m Laurie ~ gamer, advocate, and creative soul. I’ve been deep in the gaming world for over 20 years, and for the past decade, I’ve been raising awareness around abuse and supporting survivors through advocacy.

I aim to create a safe, welcoming space where variety thrives: you’ll find me exploring Rift, strategizing in Sid Meier’s Civilization V, diving into Ascension WoW, and maybe even dusting off Bookworm Deluxe.

I plan to also share my artistic side through Canva Creations ~ little bursts of design that reflect my mood, message, or just pure imagination.

Whether you’re here for the gameplay, the creativity, or the cause, I’m glad you’re here.

This space is just one part of a bigger story. If you’d like to follow my creative process or explore more of my advocacy work, I share additional content on my other social platforms. You’re warmly invited to stop by and if you found me through this stream, I’d love to know.

Most of the visual design and stream art you see here is created by me.
