Our Commitment: 

We the hosts of Another Nintendo Podcast. We stand with the Black Lives Matter movement and the protests in the wake of the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and other instances of violence toward Black communities, perpetuated by systemic racism and law enforcement. As white people, we recognize our privilege and are working individually and as a podcast to name and confront biases we each hold. We know we have a lot to learn. Each of us, perhaps like many of you, are finding ways to give back, show-up, and do the necessary work to make sure we’re being positive agents of change. In this podcast, we’ll be sharing some of the steps we are taking to educate ourselves and be productive allies of the BLM movement. Our podcast may be small but we felt it important to take a moment to use this platform to put our love of gaming in context - how is the gaming community responding, how are we responding individually, and what are we committing to as a podcast?
