In the business of gaming, half of the gamers represented are women and yet the industry and its infrastructure are dominated by men, just like the corporate world. Our goal is to build a group of women gamers, dubbed Queens, and propel them into a more powerful group of influencers and media celebrities. Culture can’t evolve in silos and we cannot change the narrative and dismantle the patriarchy without the support of everyone in the position to make important decisions about how they engage and interact with the gaming community. If we want to start changing the face of the industry from very white, very male, and very wealthy at the corporate level, then we actually need their support. Thankfully we’re getting help from some visionary male allies like the Queens Co-Founder Justin Giangrande, former NBA All-Star and entrepreneur Baron Davis, and Jay Rosenzweig.
