GeekGirlCon 2022 celebrates inclusivity and representation with the nerds of Seattle
Geek Culture has a long history of feeling like a “boys club,” but the folks at GeekGirlCon are out to upend that dynamic.
Since 2011, GeekGirlCon has pursued a mission of inclusivity and representation in the nerdy realms of science, technology, arts, literature, and games.
Soundside Producer Jason Burrows attended the convention this weekend. He talked with attendees about what makes GeekGirlCon different and why geek culture needs it.
Special thanks to everyone who spoke with us at GGC – Kerry O'Neill-Miller, Friday Elliott, Christy Wiseman, Danny Ngan, Lehanna Allen, Rowan Benum, and Liana Ruppert.
