In her first video, she discusses why she wants to start a channel and what her aims are. Larson credits YouTube with helping her learn and grow and she says that she wants to hav♉e deep conversations about activism, racism, and other serious topics, as well as pඣosting silly videos, not limiting herself to one specific style.
Getting Advice And Opening Up

Video Games
Partway through the video, she is asked about her top four🐈 interests and theseꩵ are listed as talking to people, learning, food, and video games. This has led to one of the most wholesome clips of the video as she ends up running to grab her Nintendo Switch to show off to iJustine on camera.
Larson has always been outspoken about her love of video games, and here the discussion reveals some funny anecdotes. Not only does she play Animal Crossing: New Horizons but she also plays Fortnite. We also discover that Super Mario Bros. and The Little Mermaid on the NES were her first games.
