Hi friends! We're here with a fresh new series, and chatting about women in the gaming industry with Maii + Mango. Welcome back Mango, and thank you Maii for reaching out to speak more about this important topic. In this series, we'll be talking about stereotypes and stigmas, challenges of minority groups in gaming, the sexualization of women in gaming, and toxic gaming environments. 

In Part 1 of this intro episode, we get to know Maii + Mango's background with gaming, our experiences in male-dominated gaming spaces, chat about what defines someone as a "gamer," and focus on League of Legends. 

Stay tuned for the rest of Part 1 soon!
