We’ve made it to over 1,800 signatures in just 72 hours! This is such a major accomplishment and I want to say a HUGE thank you to every Simmer and non-Simmer who’s been sharing and signing this week. THANK YOU, VADISH!!

A special thanks to my cousins of the Black Simmers Connect Community and King Black Cinema for giving Black Simmers a safe space on Twitter to speak our minds and share our content. It’s so important for Black people in general to feel seen and represented in every aspect of our lives, even in video games. It’s a positive outlet for many of us and in a LIFE simulation game, it’s even more important to have an accurate representation of Black people and our culture. 

It’s the start of Day 3 and we’re not giving up on our demands to EA and The Sims team. Black Simmers deserve the same recognition non-Black Simmers have been given and won’t shut up about it until we see it come to fruition. Please share your thoughts with me on Twitter (@thesarah_o) so I can collect as much information as possible to create a detailed email to send to EA/The Sims team on October 31st. It’s Spooky season and shit is about to get real!

Thanks (Vadish) again for your support and kind words. They don’t go unnoticed and every Black Simmer is appreciative of the allyship. Let’s keep the fight alive, keep signing and sharing this petition, and make our voices heard! Love y’all and have a great rest of your week! �
