We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Micah Blair . We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Micah below.
Hi Micah , thanks for joining us today. Can you tell us the backstory behind how you came up with the idea?
This Idea came from going to comic cons and conventions and seeing black people having a great time living out there childhood and fandoms. But also too let them know that there are not the only ones in this community and they do not have to feel alone. we give a safe space for People of color to be nerdy and be true to themselves, But the main reason this was created was to stop the racism in the nerd community, bullying, and attacking Black cosplayers.
Micah , before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
The purpose: BLERDOVER is here to promote black excellence and P.O.C excellence in the Blerd world and also to let the black community know that’s it’s ok to be different and to be yourself.
