Kay-B: (didn’t leave BGN today but left recently) Great writer, excellent on-camera interviewer. Hire her for hosting opportunities!
Quote Tweet
I've not been apart of the BGN organization for about 6 weeks now, but the experiences & relationships I've developed are invaluable. My hope is that all of the talented & valuable BGN writers find new homes and creative outlets. Love to you all, I'm always here.

Joelle: writing freelance, on-camera interviews, hosting opportunities. Honestly, if you’re at an LA outlet or studio, hit her up

I will continue to work with this beautiful community. I will continue to lift us up in every way that I can. But I won't do it with BGN.

Kyndal: great writer and editor. Future novelist. Has Con and festival experience too
Quote Tweet
Leaving BGN last month was a hard decision I had to make that took months for me to come to grips with and like most things with me I kept it close to my chest, telling only those who needed to know. Because really...who cares about what I do?

Today was my last day with BGN. I've had a lot of good times, some wonderful opportunities, and forged friendships with the most amazing and talented people over these last 2 years and for that I'm forever grateful.

Caron: this woman has more experience than all of us combined. Interviews, audio editing, podcasting, writing, you name it!
Quote Tweet
I ended my relationship with BGN several months ago. Too many times issues of accountability and integrity made it necessary for me to distance myself from @BlackGirlNerds and @JamieBroadnax. It was a painful decision, but one I do not regret. The incredible women I now know...

Connie: a stellar TV editor. Harry Potter expert.
Quote Tweet
Just a tweet that today was my last day as TV Editor with BGN. I've been a writer or editor in some capacity since 2014. I had nothing to do with FanCon, but hope that those who are suffering from the loss related to that are able to recoup some of their costs if not more.

Tayci: new to the writing space, but wants to grow. Give her a chance to freelance and develop her craft!
Quote Tweet
Today is my last day as being a writer for BGN. I'm so sorry that people were blindsided (including myself) and I gave a lot of my time and ideas to this organization. I'm going to continue my 2018 goals, to lift up black woman and to support other marginalized communities.

Wanted to add: these ladies have experience covering comic cons and film festivals. Press pass access was a perk at the org. So if you need folks that can cover these events and junkets, they have proof of work as well twitter.com/maria_giesela/

It was with a heavy heart that I left Black Girl Nerds yesterday. After I resigned and then let fellow staffers know, I needed some time to process. THANK YOU to @ConStar24 @LadyKayB21 @jumpedforjoi @Maria_Giesela @WildYoungCharm @ladykyndal @LaJoliePoeta for helping me process
