Last Friday, Discord’s Black and African American Movement (BAAM) Employee Resource Group had the privilege of hosting The Cookout, a virtual event where we brought together Black peers from various ERGs across the gaming industry. The event was a vibrant celebration of community, featuring inspiring speakers, networking opportunities, games, and live performances and the BAAM ERG is still feeling all of the good vibes a week later. The goal was to strengthen bonds not just within Discord, but across the broader industry, supporting and uplifting Black professionals in gaming. A big thank you to Black ERG communities and everyone from other companies like ABK, Black at Xbox, Riot Noir, Zenimax and countless others for making this event a success. Also major shoutouts to artists Substantial & the Sun’s Hues https://lnkd.in/gpVg6UBe & Mega Ran https://lnkd.in/g8bBvVTm for performing! Together, we’re building a more inclusive and supportive gaming community. #BlackInGaming #ERGs #LifeatDiscord

Um what! How did I miss this? Wish there was better marketing for this event on the Discord platform itself.
