SHE/HER

Jay Justice is a Jamaican American freelance writer, developer and consultant from The Bronx, NY. While she also works in traditional publishing and the comic book industry, video games are her favorite, because of the unique, unforgettable experience of immersive gameplay. As a cultural and disability consultant, Jay has worked to create positive representation and accessibility for marginalized communities in games, so that all players can experience that same immersion. As an advocate and educator, she has given talks at GDC, MIT and many other events, schools & libraries to further her mission of providing industry access to underrepresented developers. As a writer, Jay works to shift the narrative from stereotypical, single-faceted portrayals to authentic, complex characterization, and creates stories that go off the beaten path. For Jay, the future of gaming is one where disabled players have as many new games to be excited about every year as able bodied players do, and where anyone can be a game developer regardless of race, gender or disability. Her goal is to build a more diverse, accessible and inclusive games industry, and make way for new voices to be heard.
