It's no secret that the video game industry is still a hostile environment for women and minorities, both on the player and developer sides. If things are beginning to change, it is thanks in part to women like Jennifer Lufau and her organization Afrogameuses, which fights for diversity and inclusion in video games. As a gamer herself, Jennifer has intensive knowledge on how to better integrate black female gamers and professionals in the industry through the actions of Afrogameuses.
