ABOUT GIQ Founder

In 2013, women’s football champion and serial entrepreneur, Adrienne Smith, founded Gridiron Queendom as the premier destination for women and girls around the world who play, or are fans of, American football.

​

As a five-time member of the U.S. women’s national flag football team and a two-time member of the U.S. women’s national tackle football team, Adrienne has experienced first-hand the power that tackle and flag football have to unite and uplift women and girls worldwide.

​

On the field, Adrienne is continuing her personal football journey as a wide receiver for the most dominant women’s tackle team:  the Boston Renegades.  Off the field, Adrienne seeks to bring the fun and excitement of football to the metaverse through an ongoing series of NFT collections that will have associated utilities running the gamut from autographed copies of Blitz Champz, the football card game that Adrienne invented, to one-on-one football training sessions with Adrienne herself.

​

Adrienne invites everyone who is passionate about leveling the playing field for women and girls in sports to join the Queendom!  Ten percent of initial proceeds from all Gridiron Queendom NFT collections will be used to financially support football clinics and leagues for women and girls worldwide.
