Hello Baby Barbarians, we hope you are staying safe and well. With the recent protests and the Black Lives Matter movement gaining outstanding momentum, we have been taking the time to listen, learn, and reflect. We concluded that without meaning to, we have been living in an echo chamber of mostly white creatives, so we set out on a journey to remedy this in both the podcast and Twitch space. This episode is here to share with you some wonderful Black roundtables, as well as Twitch creatives that deserve more love and support for all their hard work.  Please give it a listen and join us in taking the time to support more Black creatives in all fields ALL year round, not just when it's on the news.  Links!  Black AF TTRPG Dr. Broman Podcast Itch.io Game Bundle TWITCH STREAMERS Cypheroftyr RoyalTnoY DeejayKnight Domostanton GameTracks Ekuegan BlackNerdGames Xmiramira IAmBrandon KatSkratchh
