"I started the organization alongside a co-founding team in 2018 after a GDC panel where it became evident that there were a lot of Latines/Latinx but not a central place for us to gather and really talk about issues," she says. That work is what led to the founding of Latinx in Gaming, a non-profit organisation for elevating and empowering the Latinx community in the video games industry, for which Amaya is also serving as president. Organising and building online communities aren't her only strong points she fights to make these spaces more inclusive, from her past contracting work with many organisations focused on diversity and inclusion to her current role on the IGDA board of directors as vice chair, to mentoring young hopeful hires and her work increasing Latinx representation across the industry. Cristina AmayaĬristina Amaya has seven years of experience in the video games industry with a particular focus on the social side of gaming, from community management to marketing to events, the latter of which she currently heads up at esports organisation Team Liquid.
