Black Girl Nerds

Black Girl Nerds is a welcoming space for women of color to celebrate their individuality and embrace their unique interests. While it has "Black Girl" in the name, this platform is open to ALL women who share our nerdy passions, as well as the men who appreciate them. The name reflects the idea that Black women being geeky is often unexpected, challenging traditional views within the "Black Girl" narrative. We represent a diverse group of women who honor various cultures and reject societal norms. This community is inclusive and does not aim to exclude anyone. The phrase “Black Girl Nerd” is meant to be a term of affection, celebrating women who have faced stereotypes that don’t accurately represent their true selves and quirky traits. This site provides a safe haven for every nerdy girl to confidently come forward and declare their pride in who they are—regardless of what others may think or say. It’s a judgment-free zone where you can express your true self. While the site welcomes girls from all backgrounds, it proudly carries the name Black Girl Nerds because it’s a distinctive term that isn't widely recognized, even by search engines. Our goal is to change that and highlight the existence of many Black Girl Nerds worldwide. We also encourage bloggers, content creators, and others to build niche communities like this one to promote the idea that being nerdy is something to be celebrated. Being a nerd is a unique gift and should be cherished. Remember, many successful individuals identify as nerds, so treat your fellow nerds with kindness—you might just find yourself working alongside them one day!

Oh, to have the confidence of a middle-aged, wealthy white man. I know that’s an odd thing to say, especially since I’m a Black woman. But just for a moment, consider the white men you know. You’re probably picturing him walking confidently into the conference room. A memory pops into your head of when they spoke out and said what was on their mind without any pushback.

Things went a bit south following the conclusion of the Infinity Saga, with Disney and Marvel rapidly expanding the MCU, producing plenty of content at the expense of its quality. This came back to bite them, and the company soon canceled a whole slew of titles, opting to shift its focus from quantity to quality once again. However, the damage has been done. Were it not for Deadpool & Wolverine, the MCU would’ve sunk.

The second season of The Last of Us dropped just over a month ago with a very strong start, which isn’t so surprising for an adaptation of what’s often described as The Godfather of gaming.

I think it’s safe to say that most of us have been leading lives that were minimally impacted by the choices of our government. It’s not a secret that President Trump has made some extremely intrusive and questionable decisions while passing some laws that have negatively affected a lot of people (ironically, that pool includes the very same individuals who voted for him, imagine that).

The 1990s were a golden era for action movies, with Hollywood churning out high-octane blockbusters at an unprecedented rate. Big-budget spectacles dominated the movie theaters, and the rise of CGI, as rudimentary as it was, opened new frontiers for sci-fi and cyber-thriller genres. Yet, in the flood of explosions, car chases, and high-stakes heroics, some movies — despite featuring A-list stars — failed to leave a lasting mark.

Toward the end of last year, Disney unveiled a sizzle reel to preview some of their upcoming projects that we’d been anticipating for some time now. As of today, a few of them have already been released, including Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and Daredevil: Born Again, which just had its jaw-dropping finale last week. Within that footage came a series many know little about but are extremely curious about — and rightfully so.

Let me start by proclaiming my love-hate relationship with Netflix for playing the ultimate tease with the film The Old Guard. A cinematic work filled with action, mystery, betrayal, and immortality was streamed for us half a decade ago. Finally, the wait has been cut short, as The Old Guard 2 is expected to be released July 2. So let’s talk about this new trailer and what we can expect from the new film.
