“As we developed this program with DoorDash, it was incredibly important to offer these students a complete experience in terms of curriculum, community and some competition,” said Ryan Johnson, founder and executive director of Cxmmunity. “We want to connect them with leaders in our industry who can inspire them to pursue a career in the esports or video game industry and provide them with something tangible and of value to walk away with.”
Through the event and beyond, DoorDash and Cxmmunity will partner to teach, train, and champion the next generation of creators from partnered HBCUs, including Howard University, Morgan State University, and Albany State, generating new ways for individuals to build a career pathway, while also providing resources for local and grassroots gaming communities to build and thrive.
“We are thrilled to partner with the Cxmmunity and bring Creatxr Dash to students at HBCUs across the country,” said Katie Daire, Senior Director of Consumer Marketing at DoorDash. “We look forward to working together to activate our shared values of access, inclusion, and empowerment as we leverage our platform to create a more inclusive industry and champion the next generation of creators.”
