Just because BNC is ending doesn’t mean our team will stop creating. Many of us will be resting & taking stock, but a few of us have projects and ideas in the works outside of the BNC umbrella...

You know we can’t stop creating and celebrating Black art. You’ll be able to connect with us in new ways!

However, due to changing priorities, responsibilities, and a bit of burnout, we’ve decided that it’s time for the BNC journey to end. This is a huge decision that we don’t take lightly—we’ve all built lasting friendships, created things that we’re really proud of, and we’ve done that in part because of you. We’ve appreciated all the support, engagement, partnerships, opportunities, and community over the last decade.

And after careful consideration we’ve decided it’s time for us to start some new creative chapters.

Black Nerds Create started out as two cousins who just wanted to nerd out together and blossomed into a community of nerdy, creative folks who have connected over multiple fandoms, projects, and more. So much has happened in the last ten years, and we’re so grateful for all we’ve been able to do and the connections and community we’ve been able to build.

We’re so proud of everyTHING BNC has created and accomplished in the last ten years.

A Birthday Announcement from the team!

1) Yes 😭
2) Love the extended idea that writing groups are spaces where we share and help nurture pieces of the soul

Let's stop letting people who have very little to lose—and those who have everything to gain under this regime—tell us not to worry and that everything will be okay by hoping and praying.

Fascism isn't coming. It's here, even if you're not the one rotting in a detention center. It's here.

Oooh this is a good question. Who y’all got?

The easier question to pose to a group of nerds is what would be difficult to talk about for 24 hours 😂

But we’ve been know to babble

- Doctor Who
- Lord of the Rings
- Pokemon
- Naruto
- Sailor Moon
- Zelda
- Beyoncé

One simply has to spend five minutes with the online community we’ve cultivated to understand folks can be fine, free, and smart. Let’s wrap this convo up!
