What if play itself could be an engine of liberation — a technology of care powered by ancestral wisdom and designed from the heart? In this fireside conversation, explore how games and embodied practice can carry ancestral intelligence, beloved community, and collective healing into the worlds we are building. The panelists will ask how heart-designed play becomes an infrastructure of care — one that helps us imagine, feel, and inhabit more liberated futures.

Speakers: Ahmed Best (Co-Founder - AfroRithm Futures Group), Lonny Brooks (Afrofuturist game designer), Sará King (CEO and Co-Founder + Neuroscientist - MindHeart AI) Moderator: Leo Olebe (Board Chair, Games for Change)

Recorded at the 2026 Games for Change Festival, "Reimagining Play," July 21 to 22 at The Glasshouse in New York City.
