Want to train for the Boston marathon together at GDC at 6 am? 🌉 If that sounds crazy or very not fun to you, I can also show you our games and make the miles and time fly by 💪 I'm honored to co-host alongside the #gamesindustryrunners for this year's morning run event with Evelin Herrera Emil Rosendahl 🔜 GDC San Francisco Nathan Ceulemans. You can join regardless of whether you're training for a marathon, or just starting; everyone is welcome! But we have a limited amount of spots. Make sure to RSVP through the link in the comments. 🏃➡️ #gdc #founder

Two life updates! 1. I'm training for the Boston Marathon in April, with a target time of ~3 hours. 2. We're starting to share more about what we're doing with Talofa and how! Thanks to Jordan Schuetz, MBA, and the SF Game Development group for having me as a speaker last week! It was an honor to speak to how we're targeting Gen Z with the mixture of wellness and games - "games for good"! Being up on stage talking about why we care so much and why this is a personal passion for me always feels vulnerable, but it was an incredibly supportive group. I'll also be at GDC - let me know if you want to talk about either marathon training or the exciting project we're going to unveil very soon here for getting more people out and moving!

Talofa got a special onstage shoutout at DICE for the first time 🥹! Thanks to Sharon Tal Yguado 🔜 DICE for featuring our mission to merge mobile gaming and fitness in her keynote on what teens want. I wasn't sure what to expect this year, but DICE truly exceeded my hopes. It was uplifting to demo our new project and reconnect with partners and friends. I'll be at GDC next month—I'd love to meet up! I also had the honor of running the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences DICE Scholars program again this year with Rachel Hwang John Wie to bring more underrepresented folks into gaming. Huge shoutout to the brave scholars who came to DICE for the first time Rachel Sakura Perry📍DICE Santiago Forero Rain Yan 🔜 DICE➕GDC Abby Sherlock Valencia Coleman 🔜 D.I.C.E Summit Megan Friedenberg Aunesty Cano and our wonderful mentors and speakers Mark Cerny Ricardo Graham Anran Li 🔜 DICE Jennifer Schneidereit 🔜 DICE Leanne Loombe Sunni Pavlovic Kelli Dunlap, PsyD Dotun Oseni-Adegbite Meggan Scavio and more who help make this program so special! #founderjourney #dice #conference
