Let’s Be Loud and Proud A Cup of Culture

In this episode, you’ll hear from Lisa Malambri, who started modeling right after high school, and that allowed her to travel the world before putting her roots down in Los Angeles to pursue acting. During this time, she met her husband, an actor, who was being invited to a number of gaming events, and as her plus one, Lisa began to meet industry professionals and cultivate friendships, which kickstarted her career in hosting and commentating for esports.
Lisa shares how being a woman in this industry continues to be a battle she fights everyday because it’s heavily gatekept by men. She also opens up about her recent diagnosis of ADHD, and how that has encouraged her to slow down and take better care of herself, given the demanding nature of her work and the responsibilities that come with being a mother and a wife.
Her few nuggets of wisdom:
Just because someone is acting differently doesn’t mean it is about you. Everyone is fighting their own battles. So have empathy for that.
Do the best you can without letting other people’s behaviors impact you.
If you want to get into the gaming industry, pick a game you love, learn it inside out, and make good content. And if you are a girl or a woman who is interested in this industry, know that you absolutely have the power to get your foot in the door.
