"WGG Founder and Chairwoman, Keshia Walker shared, “In the spirit of Women's History Month, it's crucial to recognize that in the gaming industry, women make up less than a quarter of the workforce, yet girls represent about half of the world's gamers' (according to a UNICEF report). Exposure to the industry will help pivot future groundbreakers.
