Date TBA

From LGBTQIA+ storylines comics and communicating through ASL, to being able to play as a character with vitiligo, authentic representation can be seen across games like Overwatch, Call of Duty and more. It takes a team of talented and passionate creatives to bring these worlds to life and ensure culture and perspectives are represented faithfully, while avoiding stereotypes. In this panel, you’ll learn about the positive impact of representation in media (especially in gaming).
