Manage episode 377344266 series 3439405
My guest today is a British-Ghanaian writer and advocate for inclusion and diversity in the video game industry. Having graduated from the University of Westminster with a degree in creative writing with English literature, she founded Melanin Gamers, a support community for people of colour who play video games, or who want to join the game industry but feel unsure that there is a place for them within it.
The initiative, which has more than four thousand members worldwide, has hosted tournaments, worked alongside Microsoft and The Prince’s Trust, and in 2020 won Barnet's Big Idea Entrepreneurial Prize. That same year my guest’s novel, ‘A Thousand Natural Shocks’ was long listed for the Lucy Cavendish Prize, Cambridge University’s literary award for unpublished women authors. She currently represents the Ghanaian Esports Federation in International Relations.
