Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this fangirl?
Joella is constantly striving to make the fangirl community more open and accepted in general. She helped me feel more open to expressing my nerdiness especially my love for the Star Wars prequels. In the community we often see people who like the prequels or even just Anakin for that matter getting picked on. Joella stands up for them and is known to go on lengthy rants silencing the bully. Her love for fandom is astonishing and she truly deserves every bit of this. Year of the fangirl would not be complete without her.
