Hey everyone! As we near April, I wanted to post two updates from March so you're all up to date. Let's dive in!
Women's History Month
Fandom kicked off of the Women's History Month (WHM) celebrations earlier this month and as we approach the second half I wanted to highlight it again as more initiatives are coming this week!
As a reminder, the national theme for this WHM is Embrace Equity. Equitable opportunities should be matched with equitable action to drive progress. This is about making sure there are inclusive spaces promoting equity and belonging - this has a big impact. Equity requires us to be fair and impartial and to shift from considering opportunities to committing to true equality through action.
Fandom initiatives
- Spotify playlist - This curated Spotify playlist focuses on intersectionality and specifically shines a light on women of color, LGBTQIA+ women, femme-identifying and non-binary artists, disabled women, and women of other minority groups making strides in music. Let us know your favourite song from the list! Listen to Fandom's Women's History Month Spotify playlist.
- Gaming stories - We highlighted women, femme-identifying and non-binary people gamers throughout the community. Check out the WHM gaming stories blog!
- Scream Queens and Final Girls - later this month, we'll be featuring a game card style highlight of some of the best actresses who are prominent and influential in horror films
Happy Women's History Month everyone! Feel free to comment below with how you've been celebrating WHM this month and your favourite song from our Spotify playlist!
