He fights for gamer students behind closed doors. I feel super lucky!

Coaches that took on a huge learning curve for the first season for us and truly are enjoying it.

With the Black Gxming Society, our mission is to Empower Black Gxmers, and being able to carve out space for marginalized groups to fully participate, grow, and thrive within gaming and esports not only amplifies our members potential but will propel te esports industry as a whole forward for equitable success for all Gxmers.

I do this for them. Giving them a space to be themselves is the ultimate in-game win. I've been at this since 2018 along with the support of NASEF and I've learned that it's not all about the razzle-dazzle, but building a space for the students and being clever with how you get what you need for your club. The reality is this can be started with a simple bring your own device and then build the hype from there! Its about the kids!
