When discussing racial inequality, it's often said that minority groups have to work twice as hard to get half as far. In spite of a public commitment to diversity, Black talent continues to be severely underrepresented in a largely homogeneous game industry and the game audio community is no exception. Join our panel of Black game audio professionals as they discuss their experiences, hardships, and the way their lives have changed in the wake of the unprecedented events of 2020.
Attendees will come away with a better understanding of what it means to navigate the video game industry, and the tech industry as a whole, as a member of the Black community.
No prior knowledge or experience with activism is necessary to attend this talk - we welcome all attendees to join us.
