At our recent GamesBeat Summit, we hosted the Diversity in Gaming Breakfast, sponsored by Facebook Gaming. This gave us a chance to start the second day of our event with a panel that included moderator Latoya Peterson of Glow Up Games, Sheloman Byrd of Streamline Studios, Leanne Loombe of Netflix, Verónica Orvalho of Didimo and Bryna Dabby Smith of Brass Lion Entertainment.

Diversity is important in our industries for obvious reasons. If we want gaming to grow, it’s important to incorporate as many different voices, faces and perspectives to the landscape as possible.
