Meet reluscent (they/them), a BroadcastHER Academy Grant winner!

What is your dream in gaming, esports, and/or content creation?

My dream is to work in esports as a host or caster on the Worlds or VCT stage. I am also working behind the scenes in broadcast production, and at the end of the day, I just want to be in the room where it happens. I lead every day with the values of treating everyone with kindness, and supporting everyone I run into as I work events.

For me, working in esports and being on camera isn’t about looking cool or making money. It’s about building a true connection with every player I interview or work with. I want to make a difference in the space and spread positivity wherever I am.

Everything else — success, fame, connections — will come after.

Please share how winning support from 1,000 Dreams Fund is important to your dream and what impact it will have on your career?

I come from a rural, small town in Kansas, and developing a career in esports has been challenging due to location and financial limitations. With 1DF, I can gain a network and support system, as well as a micro-grant that can help me upgrade my setup. I am proud of myself for how far I’ve come and excited about the doors that will open through this DreamHack trip.
