One of my earliest career dreams was to be a Supreme Court justice. I used to watch First Monday and plot out who I wanted to clerk for. This week I'm tearing up EVERY DAY watching this beautiful black woman on the precipice of making that dream a reality for herself.

Ten years ago today, Trayvon Martin was murdered by George Zimmerman. I was 25, and had experienced a lifetime of watching black people getting beaten, maimed, and killed with little concern and care. This time...people cared. And that felt momentous. nytimes.com/2022/02/26/opini…

Not every killing connects with the culture and activates a mass movement. This one did.

Recently we've been exploring how to make Dead Cells as accessible as possible. We're doing our own research, but the best way to figure out what we're missing is an open dialogue with the players. If you have any thoughts then please leave a reply and we'll see what we can do!
