Bayana and Robyn had a few books and a dream and created something beautiful. I’m so grateful to have been a part these last six years.

I’m also proud of us for being honest with ourselves and one another about our capacity in this moment.

It’s time to REST and create in new ways. 💛

You know we can’t stop creating and celebrating Black art. You’ll be able to connect with us in new ways!

Just because BNC is ending doesn’t mean our team will stop creating. Many of us will be resting & taking stock, but a few of us have projects and ideas in the works outside of the BNC umbrella...

Black Nerds Create @blacknerdscreate.com · May 17

And after careful consideration we’ve decided it’s time for us to start some new creative chapters.

However, due to changing priorities, responsibilities, and a bit of burnout, we’ve decided that it’s time for the BNC journey to end. This is a huge decision that we don’t take lightly—we’ve all built lasting friendships, created things that we’re really proud of, and we’ve done that in part because of you. We’ve appreciated all the support, engagement, partnerships, opportunities, and community over the last decade.

Black Nerds Create @blacknerdscreate.com · May 17

We’re so proud of everyTHING BNC has created and accomplished in the last ten years.

Black Nerds Create started out as two cousins who just wanted to nerd out together and blossomed into a community of nerdy, creative folks who have connected over multiple fandoms, projects, and more. So much has happened in the last ten years, and we’re so grateful for all we’ve been able to do and the connections and community we’ve been able to build.

1) Yes 😭
2) Love the extended idea that writing groups are spaces where we share and help nurture pieces of the soul
