About Black Girl Nerds:
Black Girl Nerds is an online publication and multimedia space that is the intersection of geek culture and Black feminism. I named this site Black Girl Nerds because the concept of Black women as geeky-dorky beings is somewhat of an anomaly. It’s against the order of things in the “Black Girl” world. We represent a wide array of dive rse women who embrace all cultures and refuse to conform to the status quo.
This event is organized not by EFF, but by Black Girl Nerds.
