Building a community that’s radically accessible 🎮Catt Small of Game Developers of Color

Today we’re talking to Catt Small, a product designer, game maker, developer and one of the organizers of the Game Developers of Color Expo (GDOC). GDOC is an annual event that aims to create a new normal in games by putting creators of color at the forefront. This year GDOC held their fourth event, which was hosted at the historic at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture in Harlem. More than 700 people rolled out (with some flying from as far away as Australia!) to attend talks and share the games they’ve been working on with one another. On the podcast we’ll hear more from Catt about why she and her collaborators started GDOC in the first place AND she’ll share her secrets about how they’ve been successful with finding sponsors.
