Using video games as her medium, Minnesota entrepreneur Jules Porter is continuing her mission to transform the video game industry from within. Porter is currently working on “Ultimate Elder Battle Royale,” a quirky game that envisions a world in which superheroes grow old and have to fight bad guys with canes and walkers. In this game most of the characters are Black, Indigenous and people of color.
By creating video games that center on BIPOC, Porter is hoping to empower young Black people, as well as cultivate empathy in those who don’t experience racism.
