Editor Stories: Fandom Celebrates Pride With Itsbartbytheway
Hello hello hello everyone!
To continue our Pride Month celebration, I’m super excited to kick off our blog series highlighting creators, editors, and Fandom Staff in the LGBTQIA+ community.

Featuring Final Girls on the Final Day of Women's History Month
Hey everyone!
We've had an incredible time celebrating Women's History Month with you as we embrace equity through the lens of women, femme-identifying and non-binary people building the “tables” in industries where they often do not have a seat.

On this final day of Women's History Month, we present to you a thematically appropriate final blog - Final Girls: The Feature.

End of Year Reflection: Mandy's Favorite Things of 2022
Hello friends! My name is Mandy and I’m the Senior Community Manager for Entertainment on Fandom’s Community Experience Team.

Reflecting back on 2022, it has overall been a really exciting year here at Fandom. I got to work on so many incredible things that I’m proud of, like our first full calendar year of DEI programming, which has been so well-received thanks to all of you. There were plenty of great campaigns throughout the year, but the Women’s History Month video in partic…
Celebrate Las Voces of the Hispanic Community
Hola everyone!
It’s certainly been an exciting and eventful Hispanic Heritage Month celebration here at Fandom. The Community Team has been honoring and amplifying the voices of the Hispanic community all month long, but in case you missed it, here’s a recap: we kicked things off with an Interactive Map showcasing various IPs and talent from a variety of Hispanic countries.

We hosted a roundtable on Discord today to discuss beloved games, movies, and TV shows that celebrate the Hispanic diaspora. And last but not least, we have one final piece to share with you all!
We wanted to wrap up the month with a sp…
