Missingham plays professionally under her mother's maiden name and Chinese given name, Hei Jiajia. Missingham gained media attention in 2011 when she, along with other female players boycotted the Qiandeng Cup after having learned that male players were being paid US$886 per game while female players were not paid at all. In a later tournament she held up a fan with the words in Chinese "protest gender discrimination".
