Valkyrae opened up about her extremely rare condition while sharing unexpected details of her personal life with her audience.

Streamers sometimes get very honest with their viewers and end up sharing details about their fears, additions, and more. Likewise, some internet personalities have openly discussed medical conditions that affect their daily lives.

Valkyrae is the latest entrant in the list of streamers who have shared details about a rare condition. Notably, many of her fans had never even heard about the condition before.

Valkyrae Reveals Details About Her Rare Condition

Rae transitioned from a GameStop employee to a YouTube Gaming star, gaining millions of followers. Moreover, she is one of the first women to co-own an esports organization.

Also, she has graced multiple music videos including “Dolls” by Bella Poarch. However, manifesting all that wasn’t simple as A, B, C for her. Rae lives with a condition that makes it difficult for her to picture things in her mind.

While speaking to OfflineTV’s Yvonne “Yvonnie” Ng, Valkyrae revealed she has a rare condition called aphantasia. “Aphantasia is the inability to visualize. Otherwise known as image-free imagination,” as per Aphantasia Network.

” People with aphantasia may be able to describe an object or person, but they would not have a clear mental picture of the subject.”

Valkyrae Admits Her Condition Affects Her Daily Life

Valkyrae went ahead to explain to Yvonnie how the condition impacts her in everyday life. While walking around South Korea with Yvonnie, Rae talked about LASIK eye surgery before discussing their own ability to see clearly.

The 100 Thieves co-owner revealed that one of her eyes is stronger than the other, but her vision was still sharp. Further, she admitted that she has a pretty lousy memory.

However, Yvonnie noted that it could have been worse if she’d a bad memory, coupled with slightly worse vision. This further paved the way for a conversation about Rae’s condition.

The topic starts at 27:48 in the video below:

Valkyrae told Yvonne that she has what is known as aphantasia. “When I close my eyes, I can’t visualize things. But I can see really well!”

Yvonnie asked Rae how the condition affects her memory by providing an example of someone telling her to picture a beach.

“I can imagine what it looks like, but I can’t literally see it in my brain,” Rae replied.

Further, she revealed that the condition is more likely to affect some of her artistic leanings. “I think that’s also why I am really bad at drawing, because I can’t see it in my head before I draw it,” she said.

Yvonnie chimed in saying she can’t recall ever seeing Valkyrae draw anything before, aside from the game of Drawful. Valkyrae and Yvonnie decided to practice drawing together.

Notably, Yvonnie noted that she wasn’t very good when it comes to drawing either. Watch this space for the latest updates on popular streamers!
