Kirby Jamail has been a fan of the DJ duo the Jane Doze for four years now. When she was diagnosed with breast cancer in the fall of 2013, the fitness instructor from Houston, Texas, listened to the Jane Doze to help her make it through.

While Twitter often gets a bad rap for empowering trolls and giving people a platform to share ignorant views, Jamail is grateful for the medium. After all, it helped connect her with her heroes.

“I’m actually not a big Twitter user at all. Not the slightest bit,” she said. “I should consider jumping on the wagon though, possibly! I mean, it did connect us to one another. Hello, Twitter. Thank you for being invented.”
