The WNBA is bigger than ever, and part of that is thanks to teammates and best friends Courtney Williams and Natisha “T” Hiedeman, also known as the StudBudz. When they aren’t lighting up the scoreboard for the Minnesota Lynx, they stream on their popular Twitch channel.
“A lot has made us proud this year — we’ve grown a lot on and off the court,” they say. "Most importantly, streaming has let us hit bigger stages to represent the gay and masc community. It’s rare to see this kind of representation, and we’re proud to be that for others.
The StudBudz Twitch channel gives basketball fans an up close and inside look at the WNBA, and fans love the friends’ personalities and ability to keep things real. The pair hope to inspire fans and viewers to do the same. “We want to say your authenticity is your superpower,” they say. “Be confident and proud of who you are, and don t let anyone tell you otherwise.” @stud.budz @courtneywilliams10 @t5poon
