My name is Amanda and my channel is Fandom Matters. I'm going to discuss how
I find community, friends, and purpose on YouTube. As a small creator on this
platform, one of the main reasons that I'm here and that I'm creating this
content is to communicate with my friends and peers in nerd communities. I
first wanted to start my channel after attending conventions for the first time
and finding like-minded individuals who had similar passions as me like Harry
Potter. That led me to starting a series on this channel called #HowDoYouFan, where
I actually interview people who create things based on things they love where
they can share their passions and I share mine in all of my other types of
videos. Those that I feature in the How Do You Fans are people I've met through fan
conventions and online conversations. They're all really talented, thoughtful,
kind, amazing, inspiring people. I continue to find friends and community by
going to events like VidCon and participating in online conversations
like Femtube chat on twitter the women's creator group on Facebook. Seeing that
there are so many other people online like me who are really passionate about
creating and discussing gives me hope and gives me purpose to keep creating.
