Sara Kadry is the face behind the hijab-wocky screen name, and she’s taking the gaming world by storm with a series of heart-pounding FPS streams and a dedicated community of TikTok teens and Twitch enthusiasts.

By combining these two worlds, the streamer has managed to gather a large fan base across platforms despite all the setbacks and obstacles. Her unique perspective on the world leads her to success.
“We’re so incredibly shocked and grateful for the growth that we’ve seen. It all seemed so far away and so impossible to achieve,” she said in a phone interview with Lifewire. “I represent an underserved community and a lot of my community sees my content and is so excited to see a Muslim streamer, a hijabi streamer, and they’re so excited to be a part of the community.”
Her name, hijabberwocky, is a portmanteau of the Islamic headdress and the dragon-like beast from Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland series. Like the literary monster, this streamer is a representation of something unique and, some might even say, a little surreal. Her goal in the gaming world is to be a positive advocate for Muslims and hijab-wearing women around the world, and to show that they too can enjoy a little mayhem in a first-person shooter every now and then.
