This week's episode of the Eat 4 Life Podcast had a few technical hiccups. Still, the amount of value brought by Trinidad Hermida this week was off the charts, and she and the team tackled the difficult discussions of diversity and inclusion in the gaming space. If anyone can speak about inclusion and diversity, it's Trinidad who, before launching The Hermida Company LLC, served as the head of diversity and inclusion for Niantic, which became a household name thanks to their work on Pokémon Go, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite and Ingress which combined for over 800 million downloads. Trinidad also serves on the board for LatinX in Gaming, and when not helping others win, you can find her getting her game on, swimming, or volunteering in her community.

Chosen Thoughts: Where are the black faces on Esports Observer? Literally, every news piece has the person next to the brand, and none of them are Black. This is concerning to me in 2021. I can’t tell you how many companies just never called me back. It’s disrespectful.

NO Q&A for this episode either. However, we will be taking Q&A on our next episode, which will be our last episode where we are alone.
Gems for the week: Dan McHugh, esports product manager for Overwatch, announced via a post on Reddit that the Overwatch Contenders in South America will not be continued. The decision was made after Activision Blizzard that the competition was not performing at the expected level; to develop talent for the Overwatch League as part of the "Path to Pro" program.
With this, Activision Blizzard will rely on third-party tournaments in South America. It will also be done with the Pacific region to qualify teams once the international tournaments return. This is how player discovery should have been!
The U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a statement on Friday to inform the public that it is "closely monitoring" recent market volatility and the halting of trades of certain stocks by trading platforms. On Thursday, several trading platforms, including Robinhood, Webull, Public.com, and many others halted trades on individual stocks, including GameStop, Nokia, Blackberry, and others.
This is clearly a case of "CYA," even if Robinhood won't admit it. Also- People should have known that the Gamestop thing was going to be short. Gamestop can't be saved in their current business model. They need the ultimate pivot
