She attracted additional media attention in 2023 for creating and organizing a perpetual stew in a Brooklyn park, which went viral on social media.

Early life and education

Rauwerda was raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan.[3][4] Growing up, she attended the K-12 Grand Rapids Christian Schools. Before attending college, Rauwerda took a gap year and served through AmeriCorps as a STEM tutor in Chicago. Following the conclusion of her gap year, she matriculated at the University of Michigan in 2019,[4] graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in neuroscience in 2022.[4][5]

Wikipedia

Rauwerda has performed live shows inspired by her social media accounts, Depths of Wikipedia.

Rauwerda gained interest in Wikipedia while wikiracing in middle and high school.[6][7][8] While a sophomore at the University of Michigan during COVID-19 lockdowns, Rauwerda created Depths of Wikipedia, a group of social media accounts which highlight facts from Wikipedia that she considers "weird and wonderful".[9][10] The first account was launched on Instagram in April 2020, and has since expanded to TikTok and Twitter.[6][7] The accounts combined have millions of followers.[11]

In addition to the Depths of Wikipedia social media accounts, Rauwerda hosts Wikipedia-focused variety and comedy shows, going on tour in 2022 and 2023.[9][12] Rauwerda's first in-person comedy set was in July 2021, expanding to a series of cross-country comedy tours.[13] Her show involves a slides presentation of Wikipedia screenshots, similar to Depths of Wikipedia's online content, and comedy commentary.[11][13][14][15]

In August 2022, Rauwerda was named the 2022 Media Contributor of the Year by the Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit that hosts Wikipedia.[16] In October 2022, she wrote for Slate about Wikipedia's article on suspicious deaths of Russian businesspeople, highlighting the encyclopedia's usefulness as a source of information in areas facing censorship.[11][17] Vorlage:As of, Rauwerda is working on a book about Wikipedia's cultural history.[9][18]

Perpetual stew

On June 7, 2023, Rauwerda started a vegan potato leek stew in a slow cooker in her apartment. Inspired by the concept of a perpetual stew, some amount of the stew was preserved after each meal and replenished with more broth and ingredients.[19][20][21] Rauwerda eventually expanded the "stew nights" to the public, hosting outdoor gatherings at Fermi Park in Bushwick, Brooklyn, where people contributed to and consumed the stew.[22][23][24] Participants were encouraged to bring vegan ingredients, with about 300 people contributing to the stew.[25][19][26] The stew was cooked for 60 days, ending on August 6, 2023.[20]

The events attracted considerable social media attention, in what was described as an "internet sensation" and "all the rage among Gen Zs."[23][26][22][27] Rauwerda documented the progress of the stew on TikTok, where some posts had millions of views.[26][22] The events gained additional attention for a website documenting it that Rauwerda maintained.[19][22]

Personal life

Rauwerda adopted a cat from Instagram influencer Caroline Calloway in 2021.[28][29] Vorlage:As of, Rauwerda lives in an apartment in Brooklyn, New York.[30]
