    When I tweeted this, I made up "diversity debt" in my head to help explain an idea. Today, I thought, "The term 'diversity debt' probably has been used before." So I googled. Found this blog post from 2015 by , from a startup perspective! ✨

    To add: Making Magic should reflect the POTENTIAL players of the game. Add Black creatives & decision-makers, & you end up w/ ideas, processes, & products drawing in more Black players & creators. Consultants are temporary. There's technical debt. Then there's diversity debt.

    We've received so many different messages about what we should and should not do with our body. From self-pleasure to protests, a lot of people have opinions about how we should exist in our body and how we can(not) take up space.

    But we will not allow oppression to steal more than it already has. We will take care of our bodies, even when systems make it hard to get adequate health care. We will take care of our minds, even when systems tell us that we are ill and broken.
