last week, i hosted Game Devs of Color Expo 2024 and was featured on the Steam front page interviewing several indie game developers most notably, developers from: Venba , Tales of Kenzera: ZAU , Never Alone 2 , and 1000xRESIST 🥳
i also had an opportunity to host the offline watch party held in LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA !! i was already in town for an unrelated event, so i jumped at the chance to spend another 24hrs in town to host an event as close to my heart as #GDOCExpo 🎉
the meetup itself was great !! GDOC Expo moved to exclusively being online after quarantine started, but this meetup was the first offline event they'd held since 2019 AND I GOT TO HOST IT !! there were a bunch of first-time members who had only heard of the event from their school or a friend and it was so great getting a chance to meet the next generation of game developers 🥰
we talked about a bunch of issues in gaming, a majority of which i won't list out of respect for the privacy of the attendants, but i had a chance to share different marketing techniques that they could use as indie devs to help get their games on social media which i hope helps them in the future 👍
i had a great time at the Variety x Tiktok gaming summit earlier this week !! 🎉
met up with a bunch of c-suite leaders from game publishing companies and had the opportunity to share some marketing tips that i've picked up over time from tiktok and general gaming 💕😊
it was also really awesome meeting other creators in this space and i'm super excited to work with them in the future 🤞✨
I was mentioned on Variety for my upcoming Tiktok gaming event in LA this week !!
Was definitely not expecting to get this type of attention on the event, but I'm excited to help others understand the reach social media provides, especially in the gaming sector 🥰
Really thankful Tiktok provided me this opportunity 🙏
