The three dig in on the ways identity shape gaming spaces and the importance of representation through community.From unpacking long-standing stereotypes in gaming spaces, Jay-Ann and Khleo discuss how they are reclaiming online spaces one game at a time and creating new possibilities for themselves and the culture.
