What was the first game that hooked you? And in what ways have games impacted you beyond play, creatively, socially, or professionally? ✨

Too many Black American stories in games are told without us in the room. We’re building culturally grounded worlds with ownership, care, and creative freedom.🌟 #BlackHistoryMonth #indiedev #WomenInGames

We blend Black American culture with modern game design to create immersive games that resonate deeply with players and uplift the voices and imagination of Black girls and women. #BlackHistoryMonth #WomenInGames #indiedev

Some of the most memorable stories in games aren’t told only with dialogue, but also through the mechanics. What’s a game where the mechanics told the story as much as the dialogue did? 🕹️ #indiedev #BlackInGames #gamedev

Game development sits at the intersection of engineering, art, math, and story. When done intentionally, it can be a powerful entry point into STEM and creative production. Especially for those often left out of traditional pathways. #WomenInGames #BlackInGames #IndieDev

We talk a lot about resilience in this industry, but less about the voices that go silent before being heard. Burnout and isolation are real. What would real action look like to keep people from leaving before their stories are told? #womeningames #backingames #indiedev

This talk on Black women in STEM & gaming made it clear: we don’t lack talent, we lack access. Only ~5% of the games industry is Black. Games need us building them too. @ModFigsPodcast #BlackInGames #gamergirl #indiedev

🤔What kinds of stories do you wish games explored more? Especially stories you rarely see centered. Some of the most memorable stories in games didn’t come from massive teams, they came from focused ones. When fewer voices are competing, intention becomes clearer.

Smaller studios are often labeled “limited,” but fewer layers mean closer ties to players. Small teams listen faster, adapt quicker, and build games with their communities. 🎮

Accessibility in games isn’t just settings menus. It’s performance, stability, and tools that reduce burnout so devs spend less time fighting tech and more time crafting meaningful experiences. #WomenInGames #gamedesign #gamergirl

Games taught us how stories, systems, and choice shape identity. They can be a gateway for girls who don’t always see themselves in tech or storytelling. What was the first game that made you feel seen? 👀

👾 Many of us survive in this industry by adapting and staying quiet. We think often about the voices that leave before their stories are ever told. Burnout and isolation are real, especially when you’re the only one in the room. #gamedev #BlackWomenTech #WomenInGames #gamergirl

🤔Representation in games isn’t just about characters on screen. It’s about who gets to design systems, write narratives, and define the “default” player. If culture only enters after production starts, it’s already too late. #gamedev #gamergirl #BlackWomenTech
