Episode Synopsis

Let's take a second and talk about why representation matters and what it does to a child growing up. Have you ever had someone that you idolized that looked someone like you? If so, then that's great. However, it's not so great if you're like me. Many kids with any level of melanin have the same sentiment. Now that I have set the scene for you. I want to have a serious conversation with you. Representation is a severally missing key to game development that needs to change.  

I know that many people don't like to have this conversation is a much-needed one. Especially now that things are becoming more progressive. When you are Black, Asian, or Hispanic and don't meet the European-centric beauty standard, you never get placed in the limelight. While representation shifts to the forefront kids want to be like those heroes we create.  

This is the main reason I want you to think about representation. Especially helping the next generation have heroes that would make them better.
