Black Gamers with Jay-Ann Lopez and Khleo Thomas

When culture, community and gaming collide, magic happens. In this episode, Jemele chats with Khleo Thomas (actor, rapper, gamer) and Jay-Ann Lopez (founder of Black Girl Gamers). 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.  Later, in a game of This or That!, they give us their final answer on what is better for gaming…PC? or Console?

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
