Soleil Wheeler, a.k.a. "Ewok," is a 14-year-old Twitch streamer and YouTuber who was actually born deaf.

Wheeler appreciates the dynamic of game-streaming and building a community on Twitch, but she did lament that it means "spending less time with family than I used to."

"Before I started streaming, I did art commissions, like paint dog portraits. I played outside more before as well. Now I am learning how to balance and maintain a healthy lifestyle," Wheeler told Business Insider.

"It's a learning process, the time management. It's no fun trying to do all of that at 14 years of age but I know it will make me a more well-rounded person who can adapt to new changes that come my way."
