Multi-talented actress, gamer and digital devotee Felicia Day takes her message of digital inclusion to- where else?- Twitch

Fans of FELICIA DAY know her as one of their favorite actresses from such shows as Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Supernatural and as creator of The Guild, the hit web series about gamers. She also founded Geek & Sundry, the self proclaimed geek hub and digital production studio. Day has now launched a new series on Twitch called WomenR, highlighting diversity among creators and content in a broad spectrum of entertainment fields. One of her goals in creating the show is to feature successful women in digital careers so that others know it is possible: "Visibility equals possibility for me," Day told The Hollywood Reporter, "so you never know when you'll stumble upon someone who really inspires you to take a leap in designing a board game or becoming a voiceover artist — it's so important to be exposed to it, because often ideas don't occur to us as people unless we sense the possibility of it."

In her talks and bestselling books Embrace Your Weird and You're Never Weird on the Internet, Day's message is about finding your community and unapologetically being yourself. And girls- Day knows for sure - belong in the creative and gloriously geeky world of digital content and gaming.
