@chrissyteigen It’s disgusting and half of it is because she’s black. I haven’t seen a SINGLE thing she’s done wrong - she’s being attacked because she’s literally the first black American to marry a prince. Disgusting and unwarranted.

Just had my first EGX ‘Can I speak to the manager’ (he was demanding freebies) and it was absolutely sensational being able to reply ‘I am the Manager’. 😂.

Today I got some great news! . I have officially passed by probation at @mediamolecule meaning I'M STAYING THERE FOREVER. 💕💕. I could list so many endless reasons as to why I'm so happy working here. Here's to the next 13115 days until I retire. 😂

@chrissyteigen It's an incredibly frowned upon act. Nothing happens, it's just tradition. If you ever go to the Tower of London, we've got a whole bunch of these maces which sit in parliament when it's in session.

Super thrilled to share with you all that today I began my new adventure at @BandaiNamcoUK as their UK PR Manager! . It’s been an absolute journey and I’m so grateful for the opportunity. So excited to talk to you all about the amazing things they do!!

I hate COVID but I love the remote aspect it’s brought to our industry. Folk who could never usually break into the industry for financial reasons are now able to work from their home (maybe family home) without having to pay rent and commute fees. Remote should stay an option.

Final moan from me about the frat boy mentality - this example from being in the Call of Duty esports community. I’ve talked a lot about it before but here’s some wider context of the things me and the girls had to face - most of us teenagers. This is embarrassing to post 🙃😅

‘It’s the way it is’ or ‘it’ll never change’ or ‘that’s how he is’ are NOT words we should be saying in 2021 when talking about a work culture and environment. We NEED to change to evolve our industry and make it a safe and welcoming environment for both new and existing women.

I've put every bit of my soul into this game, and that's only 1/100000th of the soul that the development studio and all the staff at @CyberpunkGame and CDPR have put in to make this masterpiece. It was the honour of my life to work with them on this project!.

Attacking community managers because they share news that you don’t want to hear is disgusting. There’s people behind every post a CM makes, and a community resorting to try and find finding personal flaws about them and harassing them is completely unjustified. 🙃.

Sorry for the overshare on Twitter - it took me a long time to be happy in my own company after living and being with someone for coming up to 9 years of my life. But now I’m in a really blissful spot and I’m grateful to everyone for their support and time, helping me fix me ❤️.

If you're choosing NOW to apologise to your victims, it is because you are SCARED OF BEING NAMED AND SHAMED - not because you've ever once felt a shred of remorse for what you did to those poor people!.

I’m still very depressed with the state of current affairs but I have a little bit of good news! . I started diet and exercise on 23rd May and as of today I am 1 stone down in weight! It’s been HARD especially the last few days when all I’ve wanted to do is eat crap and cry. 👏🏻🔥

Don’t get caught out - in the UK only speak to me or Hollie about Cyberpunk PR. 🙃.
Seeing reports that people are getting phishing emails about @CyberpunkGame review keys. When in doubt, don't click. CD PROJEKT RED, Evolve, and every agency/PR rep involved can help you clarify what's real and what isn't (for the most part, outreach about reviews has NOT begun).

People moaning about WFH need to consider how accessible it’s made our industry. I’ve banged on about it before, and I will again - people in the north or from working class backgrounds struggle entering the industry due to the expenses associated with the south.

All of October is Black History month in the UK. Take some time to support some amazing black creators and take a look at the work they’re doing! .As a starting point I recommend: @nnesaga @MrMidasGames @blackgirlgamers @ebonixsims @GeekyCassie.

There’s probably no better time than now to promote the UK Games Industy Slack. It’s a collection of nearly 3000 UK games folk. We don’t just talk about the games industry, we have support channels , social networks for meeting new people, groups of new hobbies and interests. .

I hit a HUUUGE personal goal today. I'm officially down TWO stone since November 2018. I am still miles away from my goal but it's so bloody good to stand on the scales and see that it's going down. I've been on and off dieting but being more aware of what I'm eating.

I faced so much toxicity and sexual weirdness being a woman in esports (2010-2015), and I know for a full 100% fact it I called individuals out, nobody would care. It’s gross and definitely sucks, especially for those who faced it worse - something needs to change 100%.

Adding loads of woman to an all white male event and calling it ‘diverse’ doesn’t make it a ‘diverse event’. Where’s the POC, the LGBTQIA+ folk, the groups who are often unheard? Woman are not the only marginalised gender/folk and we’re all not your get out of jail free card.

Why do most people prefer digital over physical games now? You can’t trade them in, can’t collect them, they take up more space, usually cost more - I don’t understand! 🤔.

Things like this are amazing - the size of your channel doesn’t determine your success or your contribution to the industry (and the world!). @nnesaga do an amazing amount of work to promote diversity in our industry, especially for black gamers. Time to shift the narrative 👏🏻❤️.
