The black nerd community is really excited about the grand opening of Amalgam Comics and Coffee owned and operated by Ariell Johnson the first female black-owned comic book shop on the east coast. So many of our small businesses need our support to thrive, especially in their infancy. So in support of Amalgam, blerd podcasters will be having a meetup at her shop in Philly for the express purpose of bringing in business and showing support to fellow blerds and bleeks. If you are in the Philadelphia area on March 19, you MUST stop by the store and buy a latte (or tea) AND a comic!
So far the attendees are:
The Black Geeks
The Black Tribbles
Afro Nerd Radio
Black Girl Nerds
Geek Soul Brother
Graveyard Shift Sisters
Fan Bros Show
Geekin’ Over 40
There’s even a rumor of live podcast!! So if you want to come out meet you favorite blerd podcasters click the link below to sign up.

The event is free and all are welcome but the organizers are asking that everyone sign up through Eventbrite because space is limited and they want to be able to accommodate everyone. A BIG blerd applause forAriell for creating this amazing space in the first place and to BigBabaRob and TheBlackGeeks crew (who have been holding it down for blerds and geeks for a minute) for putting this whole thing together. You all do us proud.
In the meantime, be sure to check out everyone’s podcasts above and hopefully I’ll see you there!
