Hey, it's me! I'm back! Ever wondered if I really speak French or if it was a con all along? 🫨
@CollectifMH gave me the wonderful opportunity to share my research with this Q&A: "How to avoid the racist trap of the Fantasy genre?"
It's on Twitch and it's tomorrow! Can't wait!

Imagine performatively hiring someone to solve your organization's DEI problems, not empowering them or giving them adequate support to enact change while expecting them to work within existing white power structures, and then being surprised when they "underperform". 🤔

There is also going to be a short introduction to decolonial game design and how we can go even further than diversity & representation!

We all know it: diversity and proper representation in media are crucial for everyone to feel included and for children to develop a healthy relationship with their identity. But how do we start to diversify our game worlds, stories and characters? --

Non-meat eating sustainability?! Yet another reason to be excited about The Wagadu Chronicles!
26 Oct 2022
Remembering that time I was on a call with a publisher and I casually mentioned that the game has an underlying philosophy of non-meat eating sustainability with nature. His mood darknened immediately, he complained about it... and even wrote about it in his rejection email. 🤷🏾♂️😅
