Career milestone! 🎉
Today I presented my first talk at NZGDC & I couldn’t be happier!
It takes a village to raise a Games Producer, especially when I entered the industry with zero experience - so a huge thank you to all the wonderful people who have helped me along my journey/to this point! 🩷

Remember how you watched Star Wars and sided with the resistance?
Or cheered for the districts as they rose up against the capital in The Hunger Games?
Or seeing the ants stand up to the grasshoppers in A Bugs Life?
Dont forget these stories.
Don’t forget the lessons.

Our govt want to make changes to the Equal Pay Act that will make it harder to raise a claim of unfair pay based on gender discrimination.
So a blatant reversal of progress.
'Disgusted' isn't an accurate enough word to describe how I feel.

So did we fill our time in meetings, documentation and code?
Not this time!

Over the past year I’ve been writing my first book as an aspiring author…and yesterday I officially finished my first draft! 🎉
I’ve poured so much of my heart and so many long hours into this story, so to sum up how my brain is feeling today:👇🏻

Have I recently had my first experience with playing an online free-to-play FPS?
Yes.
Did I choose to be a Certified Silly Goose and use the username of 'GirlyPop' in a suspected male-dominated game?
Also yes.
...and while mostly being a narrative/casual/cosy gamer, I also had a lot of fun 🤭

I feel sick & angry when seeing that a convicted felon, homophobic, racist, rapist was elected in the US.
Now is the time to wrap around the people that are scared & fight for them. Scream for them.
Show that human rights are, and always will be, more important than money.
