Hey Transcend Gaming family!

We Know it’s been a minute.

We want to take a moment to thank you for your patience and continued support during this year. Transcend Gaming has been on pause while we made some internal changes and worked on revamping the program to make it stronger, more inclusive, and more sustainable for our community.

We’re excited to share that Transcend Gaming will officially resume programming in 2026, kicking things off with one of our favorites Gaming for Good!

We can’t wait to reconnect, rebuild, and continue creating spaces where gaming meets community, creativity, and wellness.

To stay in the loop with updates, announcements, and community events, join our Discord: https://discord.gg/ADtKV8943n

Here’s to new beginnings, stronger connections, and the next level of Transcend Gaming.

🕊️ Honoring Miss Major Griffin-Gracy ❤️✊🏾🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

On October 13, 2025, we lost a true legend — our beloved Miss Major Griffin-Gracy. A lifelong advocate, she dedicated her journey to the fight for the rights, dignity, and liberation of Trans and LGBTQ+ people everywhere.

From Stonewall to the House of GG, Miss Major’s fearless leadership and unwavering love built the foundation for so many of us to exist, thrive, and say — “we’re still here.”

Our founder and co-chair, , shares these powerful words in her honor:

“Sometimes the winning is in the moment of standing still. Thank you for your dedication to movement. Although your journey has come to its final stop, your story will continue to travel — touching and empowering the lives of others.”

May we continue her legacy through action, compassion, and community.
Rest in Power, . 💜
