Part 2 | BlerdiE 🧠✨

One of the favorite parts of this was the people🗣️ The other vendors, the genuine care, and the support we showed one another. We’re all building something of our own, yet we still make room for each other to win🥇 That means everything.

History has shown us what happens when Black people come together to build. From Black Wall Street to other thriving Black communities, we’ve seen what was built, what was destroyed, and how our progress has repeatedly been undermined.

That’s why this was dope🗣️

I’m beyond grateful to be on a journey fit for a king, surrounded by other kings and queens walking their own paths, building their own legacies, and shining in their own brilliance.

THANKFUL, GRATEFUL AND BRILLIANT

May we keep building what they tried to break, supporting what they tried to divide, and creating legacies that outlive us all🫱🏼‍🫲🏻🤝🏼🫱🏼‍🫲🏽🫱🏼‍🫲🏾🫱🏼‍🫲🏿

Blerd.ie Con 2026
Oct 10 @ 2:00 PM - 10:00 PM PDT

406 W 2nd St - Pomona, CA 91766, USA

🎉 Calling All BLERDS!!! Blerd.ie Con is back for its 2nd iteration.

Black Nerds unite and get ready to be part of something EXTRAordinary. We are continuing on the collaborative work started last year with Imperfect Creationz and the African American Advisory Alliance with the inaugural Black Nerds Inland Empire Convention and bringing together Black Nerds from far and wide for another fantastic time.

Step into the world of blerd.ie - where Black culture and Nerd culture collide!

Join us for a full-day celebration in Downtown Pomona at the Alliance Community Cultural Center, bringing together gamers, cosplayers, creators, and fans for an experience like no other. 🎉

”BLERD” (Black + Nerd) is more than just a label - it’s a movement that uplifts people of color in the worlds of science, technology, comics, anime, video games, and sci-fi.

At blerd.ie you’ll find:

Gaming Stations to play and connect
Cosplay Runway to show off your best look
Karaoke Takeover to sing your favorites
Panel & Discussions with artists, authors, and innovators
Meet & Greets with Black Authors & Illustrators
Cal Poly Pomona Afrofuturism cohorts
Black Marketplace & Artwalk to close out the night with culture, food and community

This year’s Art Exhibit curated by The Shop x 3-Bit Games takes us through the history of Black culture in comics, highlighting our past, celebrating current creators, and looking into our future.

Oooh and don’t miss our cosplay group photo (430p).

Come dressed in cosplay, bring your fandom, and get ready to celebrate creativity, culture, and community all in one place. Blerd.ie is where we belong!
