Black Girl Nerds is an online publication and multimedia space that is the intersection of geek culture and Black feminism.\u00a0 I named this site Black Girl Nerds because the concept of Black women as geeky-dorky beings is somewhat of an anomaly. \u00a0It’s against the order of things in the “Black Girl” world. \u00a0We represent a wide array<\/a> of diverse women who embrace all cultures and refuse to conform to the status quo.<\/p>\n

This community does not have an exclusionary purpose. \u00a0The term “Black Girl Nerd<\/a>” is not intended to be derogatory nor is it racially biased. \u00a0It is a term of endearment to all women like me who have been attached to a stigma that is not an accurate representation of my personality or my idiosyncratic behaviors. This is a website for every nerdy girl that can finally come out of the closet and tell the world that they are PROUD to be who they are—no matter what anyone says, does, or think. \u00a0This is a place where you can truly be yourself and not be judged by others. \u00a0This site welcomes girls of all races, but it was called Black Girl Nerds<\/em> because it is a term that is so unique and extraordinary, that even Google couldn’t find a crawl<\/a> for the phrase and its imprint in the world of cyberspace. \u00a0The mission is to put an end to that and know that many Black Girl Nerds<\/a> exist on this planet. This community encourages other bloggers, web creators, and the like to create niche sites such as this one to spread to the world that being a nerd is a lovely thing. \u00a0In fact, being a nerd is a gift and should be highly revered. \u00a0It is not often that you will find an unsuccessful nerd. \u00a0Therefore be nice to your fellow nerds—you never know, you may be working for them one day.<\/p>\n
