Hello!

I've got our latest feature for you all today, this time centered around Amanda Stevens and her work on Transitional Combat. In June, the charity event raised over $10,000 in support of Trans Lifeline, but was barely reported on in the community. I had a chance to talk to Amanda about putting together the tournament, as well as the continued fight for visibility in the FGC.

Hope you dig the piece. I want to do more to amplify voices that otherwise get ignored in the space, so expect more features like this in the future. I'll be working on our Punch-Out feature next (that got delayed about due to scheduling issues) and then taking a small break for myself so I don't get too burned out. Thanks again for all of your support and patience!
