Xbox Launches Power Her Dreams With Vanessa Bryant

Xbox is placing a spotlight on women who participate in the world of sports and gaming with their latest initiative and campaign, Power Her Dreams.

According to Xbox, the company is collaborating with several sports teams to highlight women who are doing their thing in sports and gaming. They are partnering with the NY Liberty, Atlanta Dream, England Senior Women’s Football Team, France Senior Women’s Football Team, and others on a variety of activities.

They have also brought Vanessa Bryant on board as she narrates a video that highlights the journey of several women, Zaila Avant-Garde, Littlenavi, Karima Winter, Sabrina Ionescu, Rhyne Howard, and Sarah Bond. These women have each progressed on their own to take steps that will eventually make their dreams come true through a mix of strength, struggle, success, and everything in between.

Xbox is launching programs with the England Senior Women’s Football Team, the France Senior Women’s Football Team, the Atlanta Dream, and the NY Liberty, to inspire the next generation of women who intend on partaking in the gaming industry as well as athletes who anticipate making their athletic dreams come true.

This initiative will begin the initial steps of Xbox’s commitment to amplifying the representation of women in sports and gaming.

Xbox is inviting fans to tell them about their dreams via their Power Her Dreams web portal. They can submit a dream and pick choose one of two charities that Xbox will pay it forward with a per-dream contribution:
