Shirley Curry is an 85 year old grandmother who loves to play, and now record, games! Her son introduced her to gaming and she discovered that she could meld her dreams of story writing and gaming. Shirley’s channel is the most soothing and adorable channel hosted by the most authentic grandma! In this episode, I sit down with Shirley to deep dive into what it’s like to have almost a million subscribers, how to be authentic, and keeping it as simple as you can! Shirley and I talk about how she focuses on building her stories and brings them to life through gaming.
