As the second ever woman creator to join top gaming organization 100 Thieves, Brooke has become one of the most prominent female role models in gaming, advocating for more women representation in the space as well as speaking out on issues like mental health, harassment and toxicity towards women. Today we chat about how we can advocate for better gaming spaces for women through being actively involved in our kid’s experiences with gaming, how she’s managed to make gaming her business and what the heck a professional gamer does!
