When I was at WotC, other marginalized people and I tried to make change as ICs and it was so painfully hard to do because we simultaneously had no power and were the most vulnerable. We continued on through tears because we had no other choice: no one else would do the work.

One time I got rejected from final round interviews at Riot. I asked the recruiter for feedback, wrote it down, worked to address every piece of feedback on the list, and then got a different, better job for me at Riot a few months later. Feedback is important for improvement!

Because I was meeting with the few other POCs to vent and feel less alone, I was accused of having a “whisper network.” Funny how a group of marginalized people can’t just meet to hang and casually discuss their problems without being perceived as some sort of threat *face/palm*.

There was a saying we had at WotC among POCs. If you were a person of color you had two jobs: your day job (the one you were hired to do), and your second job as a diversity & cultural consultant (the one you’re obligated to do as one of the few non-white people at the company).

Idk if anyone noticed, but most of the programming we did in our POC group was education on how to be anti-racist. This was an intentional decision: we as POCs were best-served if we could teach the people doing us harm how to do a little less harm. Maybe spark some change.

When I worked on Magic, I asked for two things: more people of color and fashion. Seeing the diverse, stylish Strixhaven school students is a dream come to life.

In the last year I’ve dyed my hair, gotten Product Management certified, lost 10 pounds, learned how to use Unity, gone on 10+ trips, and made some cool Magic mini games. Within the next few months I’m going to get Scrum Certified, do a game jam, and take a NaNoWriMo class.

Congrats to my friends @LulaVampiro , @cysdavis , @SharangBiswas , @danielhkwan , and @senfoonglim for working on this new Avatar RPG! We’ve been advocating for positive representation of Asians in games for so long, and look at them now! Can’t wait for the game to come out in 2022.

The word I chose to guide my year was “Fearless”. I didn’t want to have imposter syndrome. I wanted to believe in myself & fearlessly chase after every dream, no matter how big or hard. Today I’m thankful another dream came true: I’m a part of The Game Awards Future Class 2021✌🏼

Only five games to go until I can say I’ve officially played every board game in my collection: Modern Art, Pixel Tactics, Walking in Burano, Collectors and Capers, and Patchwork. Someone in Seattle invite me to your house so I can make you play these with me 👀 😆

My sister @CNvalerie designed a game inspired by Hanabi for her final project. Look how cute it is! She even laser cut little steaming baskets and is going to make a dim sum cart.

Dear White Men: if I was able to organize an entire employee resource group to advocate for DEI, the LEAST you could do is more than nothing. Please do not be a bystander or think you can’t do anything (or worse, choose to do nothing because it doesn’t affect you!).

Ladies idk who needs to hear this, but you’re BETTER, SMARTER, more TALENTED than they say you are. If someone undermined you, their assessment was incorrect. Show them why they were wrong. Shine in spite of them. Fight for what you KNOW you deserve bc you are more than capable.

Cracked open a booster box of Modern Horizons 2 and found one of the Magic Minigames I designed. I still remember playtesting this virtually with the rest of the minigame team. Good times!
