Female Students of Color Encouraged to Explore Careers in Gaming and Esports

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, March 4, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As part of Women's History Month celebrations in March, Women Got Game (WGG) announces its annual career summit set to take place on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, at the Children's Creativity Museum in San Francisco. Held alongside the gaming industry’s premier Game Developers Conference (GDC), WGG offers young women of color a unique opportunity to explore career paths, build networks, and engage with industry leaders.

Over the past year, gaming has seen significant advancements in technology and inclusivity, but women of color remain underrepresented in leadership roles. Women Got Game aims to address this gap by advancing mentorship, exposure, and direct engagement with top gaming professionals in this multi-billion dollar industry.

Attendees will have access to an afternoon of activities and discussion groups among their Bay Area peers as well as industry leaders excited to give their time. This year's partners include a16z Cultural Leadership Fund, Cash App, Black In Gaming, and Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Topics will include:
The Future of Gaming Careers
Mental Wellness: No Toxicity, No Bullying
Life in the Gaming Industry: Insights from Professionals
The Power of Networking

Women Got Game Founder and Chairwoman, Keshia Walker, shared, "The gaming industry is rapidly evolving, and we have seen more opportunities open up for women of color. However, the work is far from over. By continuing to provide mentorship, education, and access to industry leaders, Women Got Game is breaking barriers and ensuring that diverse voices have a seat at the table."
