When it comes to the future of gaming, accessibility and representation are key.

Since the 1980s, gaming has been marketed as a male-dominated industry. But that’s not the case. “I’ve been playing video games since I was 4 years old,” said Jaye “Letta J” Watts, founder and CEO of Coexist Gaming.

“Men have often shunted women from the space,” added Jay-Ann Lopez, founder and CEO of Black Girl Gamers.

Both founders are on a mission to create inclusive and accessible communities for gamers from all walks of life.
