I'm grateful to have found so many new friends in this industry like the AMAZING @arka2arka9.bsky.social!

For a long time I didn't feel I was "allowed" to call myself a gamer, let alone a game dev... but initiatives like #WhatAGameDevLooksLike have shown me that I'm right where I belong! 💖 #GDC25

Honored to be the keynote for this year's Next Lev'elles event: www.eventbrite.ca/e/billets-ne...

My thoughts [in these tumultuous times] are especially around resilience and survival as women, caregivers, diversity advocates, local organizers, & game developers.
