Latinx in Gaming cofounder Cristina Amaya started her nonprofit to help get Latine gamers jobs in the gaming industry. She hopes that, one day, they won't need her. Amaya and a friend organized a small panel which attracted 60 people and sparked emotional conversations that the community had longed to have.
So, she and a friend decided to try and generate interest and held a small panel. “We had, like, 60 people attend the panel and it was really emotional,” she said. “It was full of conversations that all of us had wanted to have for so long, but couldn’t have.” That experience solidified the need for a group like Latinx in Gaming, and they became an official nonprofit in 2020.
Today, the organization has about 10,000 members and is constantly working on outreach. Its primary focus? Gettingin the game industry. They provide resources to different communities and post job listings on their social accounts, helping make much-needed connections. They held a career-fair earlier this year, and Amaya says they saw about 10 people actually get hired as a result.
