Silicon Sisters Interactive‘s founders, Brenda Bailey-Gershkovitch and Kirsten Forbes, were nominated for the 2012 YWCA Women of Distinction award in the Science, Research and Innovation category. Since Brenda was out lollygagging in Sweden, Kirsten represented the company alone, and promised to name us all in her acceptance speech, should they win. Alas, the award went to another worthy over-achiever.
I am so proud to be part of this team! Here’s why I love writing for SSI:
Kirsten says: “Though it’s easy to pillory videogames as being responsible for some ill effects on today’s youth, at Silicon Sisters we’ve seen otherwise. Games can be a safe world in which to practice and rehearse skills that might otherwise be too stressful – from making friends to challenging the status quo to allowing yourself to fail and see the consequences. Silicon Sisters supports healthy choices for youth.”
