Meet Jacky Martin: Bringing new Ideas and Expertise to Womenize!
We sat down with Jacky to talk about her journey with Womenize!, her new role, the idea behind the Masterclasses, and what she hopes to bring to the community.
Womenize! is an event series for women, non-binary people and all marginalized voices in the games and tech industry.
