8 | Kim Belair, Video Game Writer & CEO of Sweet Baby, Inc.

My guest for the episode is Kim Belair, video game narrative writer and CEO of Sweet Baby, Inc., a black- and queer-owned narrative development company based in Montreal, working in both AAA (that's "big-name video games" in non-gamer speak) and independent spaces.

Kim has had a fascinating journey as a writer in the video game world, and you don't need to be a grizzled gamer to take a lot of important lessons away from listening! In a candid conversation, she offers insight into her experiences as a black woman in an industry famous for toxicity and hostility - and how she ended up co-creating a company that welcomes fresh creative perspectives to the craft.

Starting Artists is hosted by Tony Sadowski, owner of marketing and media production company Spec Communications, LLC.
