We’re so excited to introduce and celebrate our 2025 Featured Contributors! Here’s your opportunity to learn a little more about the who’s who of GeekGirlCon 2025, and discover where you can find and admire them at the con!
Dungeons & Drag Queens
Witness high-fantasy, high-heeled, high-rolling, high-larity as three Drag Queens play Dungeons and Dragons Live! Since starting in Seattle, the show has inspired many, and now sells out across the country and globe (Canada)! Dungeon Master Comedian Paul Curry and improvisational violinist Carson Grubb will lead three Drag Queens on a brand-new storytelling adventure, chock full of danger, snark and audience participation. Experience the adventure or fail your quest- at Dungeons and Drag Queens!
Sistah Scifi
A lifelong bibliophile, Isis Asare launched Sistah Scifi after a conversation about Afrofuturist literature sparked a deeper mission to amplify Black and Indigenous speculative fiction authors and build a vibrant literary community. Sistah Scifi is the first Black-owned bookstore in the U.S. focused on sci-fi/fantasy and uplifting Black and Indigenous authors through literature, community, and imagination. In 2023, Isis brought these stories to even more readers by opening three Sistah Scifi Book Vending Machines.
Jasmine Bhullar
Jasmine “ThatBronzeGirl” Bhullar is a performer, game developer, writer and a content creator on Twitch and YouTube. She is the DM behind Dimension 20’s Coffin Run and the creator of DesiQuest.
In addition to writing and performing for Critical Role and Acquisitions Incorporated, she is also writing and voicing a character in the unreleased video game “Fading Echo”.
Gigi Murakami
“Queen of Horror Manga” Gigi Murakami is a Harvey and Ignatz-nominated manga artist & illustrator, and content creator at the intersection of horror media, alternative and Japanese nerd culture, and (schlocky) film. Her both traditionally published and self-published works blend Japanese manga art, vintage grindhouse poster art, and pulp comic aesthetics, while thematically focusing on the dark, dramatic, fantastical, and often introspective.
Marin Miller
Voice actor, writer, and vocal coach Marin M. Miller has had a fruitful career in foreign dubbing and ADR. You may know Marin as Nimbus in Destiny 2, Athena in Hades, or the Caretaker in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Their voice brings life to countless beloved characters across anime, gaming, and film, and they also work as a script adapter/writer on projects like Shogun, Kengan Ashura, and Lupin the 3rd: The First.
Chad Quandt
Chad Quandt is a multi-Emmy and Peabody award-winning showrunner, writer, and producer. He is currently a Co-EP and lead writer on the upcoming AVATAR: SEVEN HAVENS.
Born in the misty Midwest Mountains and now residing in Los Angeles, Chad has a true passion for epic tales about underdogs, found families, and comedy that punches upwards with the fury of a robot rocket punch.
