About Me
I am a NY-based producer, podcaster, culture journalist, speaker and recovering editor. I founded theblerdgurl in 2013 so that I would have a place to talk about comics and characters I love, anime and science fiction. Today with over 20K engaged followers on twitter and over 10K followers on Instagram, theblerdgurl brand is now recognized throughout genre entertainment as an authority on geekdom, inclusion and the large often ignored sub-fandom of Black nerds or #blerds.
I’m also a freelance contributing editor to SYFYWire, where every week I write the column Indie Comics Spotlight, and co-host the flagship podcast Who Won the Week (WWTW). I also regularly interview talent and creators live on stage at conventions as well as host panels and red carpets across the country.

Where You've Seen Me
What I Do
Producer
I love content creation and have produced two web shows for SYFYWire that ran on the network in 2018. As a trained video editor, I regularly provide brands and outlets with professional content that feels natural and puts the viewer right into the story.
Writer
In addition to writing scripted content for my own podcasts and video segments. I also have bylines at ComicsBeat, BookRiot and The MarySue. My first published work can be found in the Dark Horse Anthology Pros and (Comic) Cons.
Talent
Does your red carpet need some Black Girl Magic? Are you looking for a host to interview talent at your convention? Need someone to cover your activation that can relate to fans? Maybe your podcast just needs one more sarcastic voice. Then I'm your girl.
Speaker
I regularly speak at colleges and conventions about everything from Diversity in Pop Culture to Social Media Branding and Marketing and Geek Journalism. If your university, trade show or program is looking for pop-culture programming, let's talk!
