Hello, Podwalkers, and welcome back to another episode of the Goblin Lore Podcast! This week's episode is something we have wanted to do for a long time. We have been fortunate to be able to collaborate with Amanda Stevens, an amazing friend who also happens to be a passionate Journalist, Podcaster, Diversity & Inclusion Consultant. Amanda has worked with creators to learn ways to work towards inclusivity and also has done fantastic charity work alongside the Professor. There's not much more to say than to please listen and share :)

 

 

Again we would like to state that Black Lives Matter (with a link to where you can offer support both monetary and not).

 

We also are proud to have partnered with Grinding Coffee Co a black, LGBT+ affiliated and owned, coffee business that is aimed at providing coffee to gamers. You can read more about their mission here. You can use our partner code for discounted coffee!

As promised, we plan to keep these Mental Health Links available moving forward too. For general Mental Health the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) has great resources for people struggling with mental health concerns as well as their families. We also want to draw attention to this article on stigma from NAMI's site.
