They’re a Super Geek is an actual-play livestream that highlights marginalized voices in tabletop RPGs. We feature GMs of marginalized genders and a diverse cast. We are here to take you behind the scenes of running a diverse livestream!
- Jeremy Harper (they/them) is a queer, nonbinary, multiracial black educator, community organizer, game designer, and roleplay streamer. During their day job, Jeremy teaches educators and administrators how to create more inclusive learning and working environments, and they teach students about the relationships between gender, race, and society. While new to the streaming and design scenes, Jeremy’s love of TTRPGs started back in 1993, when their older brother ran Escape From Zanzer’s Dungeon from the D&D Black Box. In everything they do, Jeremy brings their passion for building safe, inclusive communities where every member has the support they need to be successful.
