Jamie Broadnax is pleased to announce the launch Black Girl Nerds on Patreon

We are officially now on Patreon! The crowdfunding space is one that has been a long time
coming for BGN. Many fans and followers of Black Girl Nerds have asked us if we have a
Patreon and I personally have been dragging my feet.

Well now we are finally launched it! In addition to the outline of what are financial needs are, I have also presented a video to let you know specifically what we are asking for and why. I look forward to the opportunity to allowing this space to grow with your support and give you the coverage you deserve as a nerd outlet!

Currently we are on the comic con circuit as press and need help with travel expenses and
equipment! Help us make our goal before SDCC begins! The link for the BGN Patreon
is: www.patreon.com/blackgirlnerdsTell your friends. Tell your family. Tell everyone.
