Professional eSports Athlete Hannah “Bispen” Serves as a Role Model For Girls Everywhere
Over the years, online gaming has been stereotyped as a male sport. Hannah “Bispen” Geensburg is a professional esports athlete who paves the way for other females in the industry and encourages girls from all walks of life to pursue their passions unapologetically.
Born in Florida and raised in California, Hannah Bispen is a young dreamer slowly redefining the esports industry one step at a time. At just 17 years, Bispen is a role model and activist for females in esports. So far she has won multiple tournaments in games such as Fortnite and others.
Bispen’s story is proof that with determination and a driven spirit, nothing is too hard to accomplish. As a kid, she always wanted to be a Youtuber or an influencer, and through hard work and persistence, she is now a famous Youtuber with over 250,000 subscribers. Bispen uses Twitch and YouTube to stream her games and reach thousands through her platform, showing her techniques and sharing tips.
According to Bispen, working in a male-dominated industry means putting your best foot forward and weeding through the stereotypes and criticism you face. As a streamer and esports gamer, Bispen notes one of the common challenges she has faced is receiving hateful and discouraging comments from skeptics. Bispen is, however, dedicated to changing the narrative for women and girls everywhere.
Most girls and women lack confidence in their abilities. That is why Bispen is dedicated to empowering women and girls. She says failing only means that you get up and try again. With online gaming as a female, your counterparts tend to limit your abilities or assign opponents who are not on your level. Bispen notes where others see challenges, turn them into opportunities, and always believe in yourself. Mistakes are there to learn from, not to define you.
Through her esports gaming platform, Bispen is not only empowering women and girls in esports but also in other fields. Every girl should pursue her passion, regardless of the field, says Bispen. She further explains that empowering one girl is equivalent to empowering a whole community. That is why she is determined to reach as many women and girls as possible.
One of the best ways to help girls to reach their potential is by making them feel accepted in every industry. Bispen says that feeling ostracized often discourages women and girls from pursuing their true passion. Creating environments where girls can thrive is instrumental to giving them the courage to reach for their dreams.
One of Bispen’s big accomplishments lately has been beating “Dream” who is one of the biggest Minecraft youtubers. She posted the video on her TikTok so her viewers could watch.
In addition to empowering girls, Bispen urges other women in various sectors to stand up and be role models for other young women. She calls upon them to use their platforms to remind girls that anything they want is possible. Subsequently, the industries should be more inclusive and diverse. Make it possible for girls to shine and put their best foot forward. Her platform is an incredible way to educate girls and women from every corner of the world and raise awareness of the need for industries to embrace women and girls so they can thrive.
Bispen’s efforts have been felt far and wide as more women and girls believe in their dreams and courageously pursue them.
