Barriers have been broken and shows and films such as Star Trek Discovery, Captain Marvel, Steven Universe, and Black Panther are a big step forward in women's representation, but is that it? What comes next on the journey to see more women and more types of women represented in pop culture? This panel discusses recent breakthroughs and looks towards the future for women in the nerdy frontier with a group of women who are dangerous in their own right. Moderator Jessica Tseang (Little Geek Girls, comic book historian) is joined by panelists Dani Fernandez (host, Nerdist, Nerdificent on iHeartMedia; writer for Legendary and Comedy Central), Jennifer Kretchmer (D&D Beyond’s Heroes of the Vale, Veronica Mars, Maze Arcana), Danielle Radford (host, Tights and Fights; host and writer, ScreenJunkies), Tamara Brooks (writer, DC Comics, IGN, Geek & Sundry; co-host, Women Wrestling Friends podcast), and Toni Sanchez (writer/host, TheToniSanchez, That Hashtag Show).
